Abstract :
A simple model of a diode operating in the TRAPATT mode is proposed which should be useful in the design of TRAPATT circuits. The model consists of only two elements; a nonlinear capacitance shunted by a voltage- and current-controlled switch. Initial simulations using this model have yielded good results without the use of excessive computer time.
