SRRC-CR-72-17F30602-72-C-0202RADCTR-73-26microwave amplifiers, avalanche diodes, phased arrays, broadband, manufacturing, surface properties, finishes, reliabilityelectronicsavalanche diodesThe report describes the present status in the design of a broadband CW TRAPATT amplifier in microwave circuit form, whose coaxial analog was originally under Contract F30602-70-C-0110. Progress toward the development of CW devices is described with emphasis on surface degradation effects and approaches toward solving this difficulty. An amplifier broadbanding technique and the use of small-area devices to achieve lower input power thresholds for CW operation are also described. Author
