Abstract
Microwave avalanche diodes of various types (IMPATT, TRAPATT, etc.) can generate power sufficient for microwave receivers and some transmitters. This brief review summarizes mechanisms of operation, power output, efficiency, noise, and some important features of design and fabrication.Keywords
