Abstract
p+-n-p+ BARITT diodes have produced maximum output powers of the order of 100 mW. A large-signal computer simulation is used to evaluate the device conductance as a function of the r.f. voltage amplitude, and hence the output power. It is concluded that, to. obtain optimum output power, (a) the n-region doping density should be increased and (b) the chip series resistance should be minimised.
