Abstract :
A microstripline-oscillator circuit capable of operation with one or several stacked TRAPATT diodes is described. Peak power of 1 kW at 1 GHz has been achieved from four diodes operated in series. Experiments have shown the importance of a short-circuited resonant transmission line and a high pulser output impedance for efficient, stable operation of the TRAPATT diode stack.
