Abstract :
A new theory for the quantitative description of the noise and modulation properties of IMPATT-diode amplifiers has been developed, based on the method used in the large-signal theory of noise in IMPATT-diode oscillators by the present authors. The usefulness of the theory will be illustrated by results of calculations on AM and FM noise and their mutual correlation, AM-FM conversion, and group delay distortion. Some of these examples have been compared with results of experiments and show good agreement.
