Abstract
An experimental confirmation of approximate large-signal analysis of IMPATT diodes is given. The main prediction of this theory is the possibility of negative resistance at frequencies less than avalanche frequency provided the RF voltage is large enough. This prediction is confirmed by amplification experiments at large input levels.
