Abstract:
OHMIC CONTACT IS MADE TO P-TYPE SILICON CARBIDE BY DEPOSITING A FILM OF NICKEL, CHROMIUM OR NICKEL-CHROME THEREON WHILE HEATING THE SILICON CARBIDE AT A TEMPERATURE OF ABOUT 600* TO 800* C.
Abstract:
A relatively high power, good quality microwave power amplifier is provided by a transferred-electron device (TED) oscillator and a negative resistance power amplifier having an IMPATT diode. The oscillator and amplifier are coupled together by circulators, and low power, frequency modulated input signals are injected into the oscillator to vary the oscillator frequency. Signals from the oscillator are applied to the amplifier and amplified. High quality signals at frequencies above 6-18 gigahertz and at power levels greater than 1 watt can be obtained with this amplifier.
Abstract:
A voltage-variable capacity diode is coupled through a one-third wavelength transmission line to a resonant cavity. The capacity of the diode is varied by a modulating voltage so as to change the resonant frequency of the cavity, and hence the resonant frequency of an oscillator. The transmission line causes the resonant frequency of the cavity to vary more linearly over a relatively wide band as a function of the modulating voltage.
