Nonlinear and intermodulation characteristics of millimeter-wave IMPATT amplifiers
Abstract
An analysis and experimental results of intermodulation distortion characteristics of millimeter-wave IMPATT amplifiers are presented. Design considerations for linear IMPATT amplifiers and tradeoffs between the small-signal gain and intermodulation distortion are discussed.
