  • Abstract
    With the help of the relevant equations and new experimental data on Gunn-effect diodes, both with InP and with GaAs, pulse frequency modulation is discussed for 1 Gigapulse/s with an X band carrier. Improvements in switching speeds are reported by multifrequency operation during transient. The use of mode jumping for frequency shifting offers useful features.
