  • Abstract
    A mode of operation for avalanche-diode oscillators is described which depends for its application upon the controlled attainment of reverse-current densities in the range 104¿107 A/cm2. It gives a current-controlled negative-resistance characteristic and leads to efficiencies of at least 60%. With present technology, it should be possible to operate the mode up to 10GHz.
