Best Answer

Gunn oscillators are widely used in the microwave to Terahertz region.

This uses a metallic coaxial cavity (in effect, a short length of co-axial cable) to provide the resonant effect which has been modelled earlier as an LC circuit. Although it looks very different, the oscillator shares with a laser the use of a cavity. The size of this cavity determines the time/phase delay which sets the resonant frequency. In this case, each diode induced fluctuation travels up the cavity and reflected from the far end, returning to the diode after a time

Why gunn diode and impatt diode are not common microwave devices?

These are a niche market, and the demand is not particularly high. Designing a Gunn or Impatt oscillator is not a trivial exercise, and the biasing is a pain. These designs are generally built by skilled craftsmen and are not suited to mass production. At 24 GHz or below, a GaAs MESFET or PHEMT is much more practical as an active device.


Where gunn diode is used?

Gunn diodes are used in GUNN oscillator over high frequency application. its work on the transfer electron effect TET and the scientist J.B Gunn observe it so the phenomenon is named by gunn effect. the diode are made from GaAs material.because silicon is not suitable low forbidden energy gap 1.21eV only.
