  • Abstract
    For two kinds of GaAs IMPATT diodes (flat and two-step doping profile) it is shown that an improved experimental noise measure is obtained by increasing temperature. This can be chiefly explained by a large decrease of GaAs electron saturated drift velocity, as temperature is increased.
