Abstract
A method for the measurement of the dynamic admittance and susceptance of "negative-resistance" diodes is described. The device under test is allowed to oscillate in a microwave cavity, and operated as an injection-locked oscillator. Injected locking signals of the same order as the free-running output power of the oscillator are used. The dynamic conductance and susceptance of the device are obtained from the phase and amplitude response of the system.
