Controlled avalanche transit-time triode amplifiers
Abstract
The theoretical effects of avalanche multiplication and collector transit time on microwave controlled avalanche transit-time triode devices were studied. A dc computer program was developed which calculates the dc avalanche multiplication factor vs. base collector dc bias characteristics. The results provide an estimation of the suitability of various semiconductor materials, optimum collector geometrical structures and doping densities.
