  • Abstract
    Starting with Kurokawa´s oscillator equations, it is shown that the two components of a Gunn oscillator´s noise spectrum may be derived by considering flicker noise as equivalent bias fluctuations and thermal noise as a microwave frequency current source. The results are in agreement with expressions previously deduced from experiment.
