Abstract :
A circuit model has been developed to describe a class of commonly used waveguide cavities for V-band IMPATT oscillators and amplifiers. Calculated results based on this model used in conjunction with theoretical small-signal IMPATT characteristics have shown good qualitative agreement with experimental data. Detailed characterization of a small-signal V-band IMPATT amplifier and a mechanical tuned oscillator are presented, and the predicted performance is compared with measurements.
