Abstract :
The basic equations for a reflection-type IMPATT amplifier are used to derive expressions for the output when the amplifier is driven by a multifrequency input signal. The third-order intermodulation distortion is expressed and graphically presented for various diode, circuit, and signal parameters. The results provide a guideline for designing amplifiers with minimum intermodulation distortion or prescribed distortion level.
