Abstract :
The general characteristics of transferred-electron amplifiers predicted by a computer solution of the electron Boltzmann equation include the ratio of the maximum to the minimum operating frequency of approximately 3 and an intrinsic Q factor of about 1. The variation of the impedance function with the device parameters is discussed.
