Abstract
Broad-band bias-current-tuned IMPATT oscillators rising harmonic oscillations have been realized for the short-millimeter wave-length region (100-300 GHz). The relationship between diode and wave-guide parameters (breakdown voltage, junction diameter, and waveguide cutoff frequency) to obtain broad-band tunable oscillations is investigated theoretically and experimentally. Consequently, a tuning bandwidth of 35 GHz is obtained with IMPATT oscillators in the 160-GHz band, and 30 GHz in the 200-GHz band.Keywords
