  • Abstract
    p+-n-p+ BARITT diodes offer optimum noise measures of approximately 9 dB. A small-signal computer simulation is used to compare the noise measures of p+-n-p+ and metal-n-p+ (m-n-p+ diodes. For the range of operating conditions studied, the noise measures of the m-n-p+ diodes are consistently greater than the corresponding noise measures of the p+-n-p+ diodes.
