Avalanche Diodes as Noise Sources

Pages 418-427 | Received 17 Jul 1967, Published online: 21 Aug 2015
 

ABSTRACT

Incidence of avalanche breakdown in semiconductor diodes is accompanied by generation of random noise. This paper reports experimental measurement of such noise as observed in a variety of diodes. Variation in this noise output due to changes in some external parameters is also reported. Results achieved have been analysed and possibilities of optimizing the use of avalanche diodes for random noise generation have been discussed.
