Output power and tuning range of Gunn oscillators are determined as functions of the resonant-load resistance. Differing n0L products (1.2 and 4.8 ×1012cm-2) lead to strikingly different results which are related to the delayed-and quenched-domain resonant modes, respectively.

Inspec keywords: Gunn oscillators; oscillators; tuning

Subjects: Solid-state microwave circuits and devices; Bulk effect devices; Oscillators
