Thermal noise in a Gunn diode
Abstract
Thermal noise can serve as an index of certain important parameters of Gunn diodes when they are used in data processing equipment. In the present paper an equivalent circuit approach is used to study the thermal noise of such diodes. Attention is given to conditions for the formation of a strong-field domain in the diode and to the fraction of the cathode domain in which stability losses occur.
