Abstract
To improve the performance of millimeter wave IMPATT diode´s circuit series connection of diodes can be effectively used. Two diodes push-pull circuit with dumping resistor realizes series connection of IMPATT diodes at RF and parallel connection at DC. The circuit minimizes losses and overcomes impedance restriction of millimeter wave IMPATT diode circuits. The practical oscillators realized near 100% combining efficiency at 36 GHz and at 50 GHz
