Abstract :
Microwave amplification has been obtained from silicon diodes operated in avalanche resonance pumped modes. DC to RF conversion efficiency was 25% at 1.3 GHz for a saturation gain of 12 dB and a bandwidth of 3%. A nonlinear theory predicts a large dynamic range and efficiencies up to 70%.
