  • Abstract
    Design and performance criteria have been deduced for high-efficiency oscillations in p+¿n¿n+ and n+¿p¿p+ avalanche diodes. A TRAPATT approach is used with realistic analytic approximations for the carrier velocities and ionisation coefficients. A comparison is made with experimental data.
