Abstract
This paper presents a very efficient Gunn diode circuit model whose components are determined by a new method of large signal characterization which requires much less power from the generator than classical techniques. This method can be exploited through one of the two measurement setups presented according to the power provided by the power supply. This technique will be particularly interesting at millimeter-waves. The model will allow global modelling of sources such as power combiners at these frequencies.
