Q. To prevent an IMPATT diode from burning, a constant bias source is used to maintain at safe limit.

  • (A) average current
  • (B) average voltage
  • (C) average bias voltage
  • (D) average resistance

Explanation by: Admin

avalanche multiplication is a cumulative process resulting in rapid increase of carrier density. to prevent the diode from burning due to this increased carrier density, a constant bias source is used to maintain average current at safe limit.
