  • Abstract
    GaAs single-drift TUNNETT diodes have been grown by MBE. For the first time CW-output power has been achieved in the V abd W-bands. The best performance achieved is 25 mW associated with a conversion efficiency of 2.8% at 70 GHz. Good agreement between experimental findings and theoretical predictions obtained by means of a drift-diffusion model is demonstrated.
