Abstract :
Single screw continuous mechanical tuning of avalanche diodes has been achieved over better than an octave in the 4-13 GHz frequency range with an output power variation of 6 dB. A good match between diode and circuit can be obtained over a very wide frequency range by using a coaxial cavity with a loop coupled output.
