Abstract :
Experimental results obtained with millimeter-wave IMPATT amplifiers are presented. Nonlinear and large-signal characteristics of stable IMPATT amplifiers and injection-locked IMPATT oscillators are described. Amplifier circuit configuration, diode characteristics, and measured effects of bias current, temperature, and large-signal level on gain, bandwidth, power saturation, and phase-delay characteristics are discussed in detail.
