  • Abstract
    Experiments with four-mesa silicon p+-n-n+ IMPATT diodes have shown power saturation and reduced efficiency when connected and packaged in electrically asymmetrical configurations. The need for electrical symmetry is illustrated by experiments wherein seemingly trivial asymmetries caused severe saturation of the power output.
