摘要:
A Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) gate is disclosed wherein a different amount of base current is applied to the inverter transistor than is applied to the base of the output transistor. In one embodiment, a current mirror circuit controls the amount of base current flowing between the input transistor collector terminal and the base terminal of the inverter transistor to an amount less than that flowing between the input transistor collector terminal and the base terminal of the output transistor. In another embodiment, a resistor in series with the base of the inverter transistor performs the same function as the current mirror circuit.

A solid state Klystron structure is fabricated by forming a source contact and a drain contact to both ends of a conducting wire and by forming a bias gate and a signal gate on the conducting wire. The conducting wire may be at least one carbon nanotube or at least one semiconductor wire with long ballistic mean free paths. By applying a signal at a frequency that corresponds to an integer multiple of the transit time of the ballistic carriers between adjacent fingers of the signal gate, the carriers are bunched within the conducting wire, thus amplifying the current through the solid state Klystron at a frequency of the signal to the signal gate, thus achieving a power gain.
