Experimental Study of Series Connected TRAPATT Diodes (Short Papers)

The results of experiments using TRAPATT diodes connected in series at 0.5, 2, and 8 GHz are described. These experiments demonstrate that successful series operation of TRAPATT's at frequencies up to at least 2 GHz can be achieved in a configuration suitable for long pulsewidth or CW operation...

Description
Summary:The results of experiments using TRAPATT diodes connected in series at 0.5, 2, and 8 GHz are described. These experiments demonstrate that successful series operation of TRAPATT's at frequencies up to at least 2 GHz can be achieved in a configuration suitable for long pulsewidth or CW operation. An 8-GHz operation of series stacked TRAPATT'S yielded high power outputs at the same efficiency achieved with single devices but no well heat sunk configuration was found that yielded good efficiency.
