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.

What are the advantages of Trapatt diodes over Impatt diodes?
Advantages of Trapatt:• higher efficiency than impatt• very low power dissipationAdvantages of Impatt:• This microwave diode has high power capability compare to other diodes.• Output is reliable compare to other diodes.
What does a protection diode do?
It will conduct electricity when the voltage across its terminals reaches a certain value. Once the over voltage is extinguished, the protection diode becomes an open circuit again. Therefore, you need to connect a protection diode between both wires to be protected (differential mode) and from each wire to ground (common mode). Protection diodes are primary protection devices (fast reacting), but they cannot handle too much current. That is why they need to be used with secondary protection devices (fuses and gas arrestors) to provide better protection.
What is diode detector?
there are two types:- 1) simple diode detector 2) practical diode detector the diode is common device used in am demodulator. signal(am demodulator signal ) is applied anode and output is taken from cathod
What type of rectifier used in radar?
the usual semiconductor rectifier used in the microwave band is a gunn diode. Vacuum tube diodes are sometimes used too.
How diode can be used as switch?
No, a diode can rectify an AC signal but is not able to amplify an AC signal. Diodes are two layer devices whereas transistors have three. It is this very thin 'base' region in the transistor that gives it the ability to give a voltage or current gain.
What is impatt diode?
The read type diode are called impatt diode
What are the advantages of Trapatt diodes over Impatt diodes?

What is avalanche transist time devices?
it is possible to make a microwave diode exhibit negative resistance by having delay between voltage and current in an avalanche together with transist time through the material . such devices are called avalanche transist time device. these are of 3 types 1. IMPATT 2. TRAPATT 3. BARITT

What is the characteristic of a diode when electrical current passes through it?
A "diode" is any of several devices; the only thing they have in common is that they have two electrical connections - hence the name. These devices have different functions. The simplest semiconductor diode, and one of the most common, is probably the rectifier diode. It lets current pass in one direction, but not in the other direction.
What are the applications of IMPATT diode?
These diodes are used in a variety of applications from low power radar systems to alarms. A major drawback of using IMPATT diodes is the high level of phase noise they generate. This results from the statistical nature of the avalanche process. Nevertheless these diodes make excellent microwave generators for many applications. A main advantage is their high power capability. They operate at frequencies between about 3 and 100 GHz or more. http://artizle.blogspot.com
