  • Abstract
    IMPATT diodes have been tested under the influence of 1.85×106R/h gamma radiation from a 1.5- MeV Van de Graaf generator. No measurable change in performance has been observed during or after irradiation. A 100 to 300-fold increase in bias current was measured in the preavalanche region of operation.
