| Abstract: | The generation of microwave frequencies by the heterostructure hot-electron diode (H2ED) is discussed. At 77 K, self-oscillation has been produced over a broad frequency range from direct current to 10.5 GHz, limited by the parasitic series resistance and capacitance. Considerations of the bias polarity required to produce oscillations and of their high-frequency response support a model of switching from tunneling to thermionic emission |
