Abstract
The small-signal oscillation frequency and growth rate is calculated for an avalanche diode having a general doping profile, allowing for accurate drift velocity and ionisation rate. The analysis includes the case of a typical microwave load connected to the diode. A connection is found between this accurate growth rate and a properly defined Q factor for the whole circuit.
