Abstract :
Analyses are carried out by using a simplified model of the dynamic current-voltage characteristic of the Gunn diode oscillator. Experiments have been also carried out. For the self-excited mixers, an external signal was injected into the oscillator instead of the signal reflected by the reflector. For the effects of the moving reflector upon the oscillation frequency and dc current were investigated in the static condition.
