  • Abstract
    GaAs double-drift Read IMPATT diodes are designed for pulsed operation up to 210 GHz with extremely high current densities (225 kA/cm2). The optimisation of the active device and the applied resonator structure is carried out by the help of simulation programmes. The experimental results show RF output power levels of 0.7 W at 200 GHz and 0.25 W at 210 GHz.
