  • Abstract
    Efficiencies as high as 7.8 percent yielding 380 mW at 6.8 GHz and output powers up to 1.3 watts at 6.5 GHz (3.6 percent efficiency) have been observed in GaAs p-n junction avalanche diodes. Diode diameters ranged from 2.5 to 7.5 mils with best efficiencies occurring in the range from 2.5 to 4.2 mils, for the circuit used.
