  • Abstract
    The fabrication and encapsulation of single-drift pulsed IMPATT diodes for 73 GHz is described. The transforming properties of the parasitic inductance and capacitance demonstrate the strong influence of diode-mounting technique. The used reduced-height waveguide resonator is described theoretically, giving an indication of optimum matching between resonator and transformed diode impedance. The diodes deliver more than 10-W output power at 73 GHz with 5-percent efficiency, if they are matched to the resonator by proper parasitic.
