  • Abstract
    Previous pulsed low-noise measurements of avalanche oscillators have now been extended to CW devices having GaAs vapor-grown p-n junctions. The best AM noise-to-signal ratio observed was -140 dB, which is about 15 dB better than previously measured for GaAs avalanche diode oscillators.
