Abstract:
The report clarifies the nature of the dispersion relation for space- charge waves in IMPATT diodes. It is demonstrated that, in the usual linear approximation, the dispersion relation is always cubic, although suitable transformations of the basic equation appear to yield a quadratic. The implications of this point are discussed in regard to prior results and for a simple, but tractable, generalization of these results. In addition, possible implications for the TRAPATT-ARP controversy concerning the explanation of anomalous mode operation of avalanche diodes are discussed.
