  • Abstract
    The large signal characteristics of supercritically doped n+-n-n+GaAs transferred electron amplifiers are investigated in computer simulations. Device admittance, reflection gain in a 50-Ω circuit, available net output power, and efficiency are presented as a function of mean-square voltage across the device. Good agreement with published experimental amplifier results [1] is demonstrated.
