Stabilisation of transferred-electron amplifiers with large n 0 L products

Abstract
The small-signal stability of a transferred-electron device (t.e.d.) driven with a voltage generator of finite impedance is discussed. It is shown that the series impedance significantly alters the stability condition. Computations for a resistor in series with the t.e.d. show that the maximum n0L product for stable operation increases with increasing series resistance. The practical implications of this result are discussed.
