Small-signal noise behaviour of companion p + - n - p + and p + - n - v - p + punchthrough microwave diodes

Abstract
The frequency and current dependence of the noise factor of tuned microwave amplifiers, utilising punchthrough injection transit-time diodes, has been determined. Noise factors as low as 10 and 11 dB were obtained from companion p+-n-p+ and p+-n-v-p+ structures, respectively, when tuned to frequencies in the vicinity of 7.5 GHz.
