Abstract
The operation of gallium-arsenide avalanche-diode oscillators in a low-frequency mode is reported. The onset of oscillation is accompanied by a significant decrease in the direct voltage across the diode which is characteristic of TRAPATT operation. Pulsed output powers of 880 mW with 3.5% efficiency at 1.5 GHz have been obtained.
