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.

What type of diode is a HVR-1X4 diode?
It's a high voltage diode, typically used in microwave ovens.
What is the function of zener?

What is the freewheeling diode operation?
Very often in translations from German to English the term 'free wheeling diode' for 'Freilauf-Diode' is used. Generally the correct translation for this term would be 'recovery diode'. The usage of the term 'free wheeling' only will be correct in mechanical aspects, e.g. the rear wheel of a bicycle or the clutch of the transmission line of a car.
When does the diode not allowed to flow the current?
A diode is a one-way gate for electrical current to flow through. You must have the right size diode for the amount of current that will be used in your circuit. The stripe on the diode is your output end. That is, the current must enter your diode at the non-stripe end and leave at the end with the stripe. This coincides with the diode symbol used on your schematic. If your diode is in backwards, the circuit will not work as the gate in the diode will block the current just the way it should.
What is the disadvantage of gunn diode?
Gunn Diodes are used in high frequency electronics. The advantages are increased efficiency and improved temperature stability while a disadvantage is the Gunn Diode can get burned out.

Why is a gunn diode called a diode?
A Gunn diode, also known as a transferred electron device (TED), is a form of diode used in high-frequency electronics. It is somewhat unusual in that it consists only of N-doped semiconductor material, whereas most diodes consist of both P and N-doped regions. In the Gunn diode, three regions exist: two of them are heavily N-doped on each terminal, with a thin layer of lightly doped material in between. When a voltage is applied to the device, the electrical gradient will be largest across the thin middle layer. Conduction will take place as in any conductive material with current being proportional to the applied voltage. Eventually, at higher field values, the conductive properties of the middle layer will be altered, increasing its resistivity and reducing the gradient across it, preventing further conduction and current actually starts to fall down. In practice, this means a Gunn diode has a region of negative differential resistance.
Where can you find a gunn diode in home devices?
UHF tuner section of TV or satellite dish demodulator.
