Diodes allow electricity to only flow in one direction, thus converting alternating current (a.c.) into direct current (d.c.). They also allow electrons to flow one way only (until reverse breakdown occurs - then current may flow in both directions).

Diodes are often used in both domestic and industrial applications and they are especially useful in electrical circuits.

What is the Principle Of Gunn Diode?

The Gunn diode operates based on the principle of negative differential resistance, which occurs in certain semiconductor materials like gallium arsenide. When a voltage is applied, the diode can switch between two energy bands, leading to a reduction in current despite increasing voltage. This characteristic enables the Gunn diode to generate microwave frequencies and is widely used in oscillators and amplifiers. Its ability to produce high-frequency signals makes it valuable in telecommunications and radar systems.
