  • Abstract
    The open-circuit spectral noise-voltage density e2/¿f of silicon IMPATT diodes with different punchthrough factors has been measured. A noise reduction has been obtained for diodes with punchthrough factors > 1. This is in agreement with theoretical curves calculated on the basis of the noise theory of Gummel and Blue.
