Abstract :
Construction of a single-tuned oscillator has made it possible to measure the maximum power generated in the active region of an IMPATT diode and to distinguish those portions absorbed in the diode series resistance and in the circuit, respectively. This letter describes the oscillator configuration, the circuit adjustment, and the procedure used for the measurement.
