Abstract
Cw-harmonic power generation of self-pumped GaAs double-drift IMPATT diodes are investigated both, theoretically and experimentally. Device analysis is carried out by a drift-diffusion model, adjusted by Monte Carlo simulations for the high-field region. The applied disc resonator is numerically calculated by a finite element programme. The optimisation procedure for the harmonic mode IMPATT-oscillator is described. Experimental results are given in the frequency range up to 240 GHz.
