Abstract
A coaxial current-monitoring assembly, introducing negligible phase error up to 9 GHz, has enabled the precise determination of high-efficiency current waveforms in Si avalanche diodes. No deterioration of performance occurred for diode areas <10¿4cm2. Observed waveforms were of `spike¿ or `sawtooth¿ shape.
