Abstract :
The work performed on noise in avalanche transit-time devices is reviewed and presented in detail. Both theoretical and experimental results on the noise mechanisms and performance of these devices when employed as oscillators, amplifiers, and self-oscillating mixers are included. Suggestions for further studies in this area are also given.
