Abstract :
The study is based on power and frequency-response characteristics of diodes, in which of certain voltages the NDC (negative differential conductance) occurs between ohmic connections due to electron tunneling through diode´s side edges and due to intervalley transfer of electrons. The ability of generation and frequency multipication using such diodes in the MM-range is shown.
