Abstract :
Measurements of the frequency-modulation sensitivity, the frequency-pushing factor and f.m. noise are reported. At bias currents with maximum microwave-power output where amplitude modulation is very small, both the pushing factor and the f.m. noise reach low levels, which is of particular interest for practical applications.
