A new mode of avalanche oscillation by a self-consistent simulation

The results of a large-signal, nonlinear and fully self-consistent analysis of an avalanche oscillator using the analog simulation method are presented. A new oscillation mode with the resistive load is found, and its load dependence is studied. At an optimum field distribution, the efficiency reaches 31.8 percent at a dc current density of 3.4×10
