Measurement of series resistance in IMPATT diodes
A new method is given for determining the electrical series resistance of an IMPATT diode. The measurement is based on observation of the oscillation threshold bias current for a diode in a standard circuit. The method is applied to GaAs diodes near 40 GHz. The values obtained are used to quantitati...

Summary: | A new method is given for determining the electrical series resistance of an IMPATT diode. The measurement is based on observation of the oscillation threshold bias current for a diode in a standard circuit. The method is applied to GaAs diodes near 40 GHz. The values obtained are used to quantitatively explain other performance characteristics of the diodes. |
