  • Abstract
    Computer design of an avalanche-diode oscillator is discussed using small-signal analyses. We consider a diode in a parallel RLC circuit, and wish to determine the bias current density and circuit parameters so that there is efficient output at a given frequency f, variable in the range f \\pm \\Delta f, with low noise. This study was prompted by the difficulty of achieving, experimentally, a frequency modulation ratio Δf/f of 0.001.
