Abstract :
Epitaxial InP of 5.4 μm thickness has oscillated at frequencies up to 40 GHz and has yielded an efficiency of within 2% at 29.4 GHz. The optimum operating frequency for these 3-level oscillators appears to be determined by a defined transit velocity, and results have not suggested that an upper frequency limit has yet been encountered.
