  • Abstract
    Gunn oscillators have been made from epitaxially grown GaAs n+-n-n+"sandwich" structures. Peak powers up to 56 watts have been obtained in L-band with an efficiency of 15 percent. The positive temperature coefficient of resistance of the epitaxial material provides a built-in protection against thermal runaway.
