Abstract

We show the experimental realisation of fundamental mode operation of planar Gunn diode structures fabricated in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells. The electron density in the active channel is enhanced by positioning double delta-doping layers on either side. Small signal measurement shows that a typical device exhibits negative resistance up to 158 GHz. Using this device structure we have demonstrated a planar Gunn oscillator working at 115.5 GHz with an output power of -28 dBm.
