Abstract
A comparative study has been made on the properties of Ge-GaAs single velocity and double velocity hetero-junction (H.J.) Impatt diodes. It is observed that for high frequency operation double velocity H.J. Impatt will give more power than the single velocity H.J. Impatt and the homo junction Impatt (i.e. SDR Impatt).
