Zusammenfassung

Die Erzeugung von Mikrowellenleistung mit einem in Sperrichtung gepolten pn-Übergang wurde bereits 1958 von Read [1] konzipiert. Danach kann bei geeigneter Dimensionierung die Phasendifferenz zwischen Diodenspannung und dem durch Lawinenmultiplikation erzeugten Strom, zusammen mit nachfolgender Laufzeitverzögerung in der Raumladungszone, größer als 90° sein. Dies entspricht einem negativen Wirkanteil der Diodenimpedanz, der zur Verstärkung von Signalen oder zur Entdämpfung eines Resonators verwendet werden kann.
