Self-Oscillating Mixer EHF of the Meza-Planar Gunn Diodes

The design simplicity, high sensitivity and low cost of self-oscillating mixer (SOM, autodyne) Gunn diode modules result in their preferable use in widely employed radio devices compared to modules with homodyne circuit designs. These advantages of autodyne modules are particularly appreciated in a millimeter-wave band and are also implemented in their integral circuit designs
