Abstract :
Avalanche diode amplifiers (ADAs) with power outputs of 0.5 - 2.0 Watts have been developed for communication systems. Circuit design technique for these ADAs and their performance characteristics in high-capacity microwave communication systems are described. In addition, recent experimental results on high power (5 - 10 Watts) amplifiers using Readprofile IMPATT diodes are presented.
