Abstract
Large-signal computer simulations of high-low and low-high-low IMPATT-diode structures show that the high experimental efficiencies of such structures are not related to the avalanche-region voltage by the term (1 ¿ VAV/VDC) as predicted by simple theory. Other reasons are suggested for the high experimental efficiencies of such structures.
