Abstract

Experimental and numerical results are presented for a high-frequency oscillator consisting of a resonant-tunneling diode (RTD) series-embedded in a transmission line, one end of which is short circuited and the other end terminated with a load resistor. Like relaxation oscillators, the ac voltage across the RTD is a square wave. However, the current wave form (and hence the load wave forms) consists of a sequence of sharp pulses that are essentially locked to the fundamental mode of the transmission line.
