  • Abstract
    Recently there have been numerous reports of coherent microwave generation from p-n junction structures when biased into the avalanche region and situated in a suitable circuit environment. However, little quantitative data on the performance of these devices in various circuit configurations have been available . Further, nothing has been presented concerning their application to specific system problems; nor has any data regarding their reliability been documented to date.
