Summary :

Large-signal analysis of an IMPATT diode is presented, where the effect of harmonic-frequency circuits is included. The particle current and the AC voltage in a diode are expanded into Fourier series, and their harmonic components are related with each other by the corresponding impedances of the harmonic-frequency circuits. The numerical results show that the oscillation power of the IMPATT diode is considerably increased by the appropriate choice of the harmonic-frequency circuits. The theoretical model is also applied to an actual IMPATT oscillator. The oscillation characteristics of the circuit is clarified by the numerical calculations, and the results are almost in good agreement with the experiment.
