abstract = {In the present dissertation, GaAs and GaN Gunn diodes have
been investigated with respect to microwave generation in
the field of automotive intelligent radar systems. High
quality planar Gunn diodes have been fabricated with two
different hot electron injectors: a graded gap injector
(GGI) and a novel resonant tunneling injector (RTI). Within
the framework of the cooperation project between
Forschungzentrum Jülich and Robert Bosch GmbH, GGI GaAs
Gunn diodes have been studied and optimized. RF evaluation
of their performance up to 110 GHz shows the effectiveness
of different graded gap injectors. An estimation of the
possible operational modes is given for diodes used as
microwave generators at 77 GHz, with application in
automotive radar systems. A second hot electron injector,
the GaAs/AlAs double barrier resonant tunnelling injector
has been proposed and designed. GaAs Gunn diodes with RTI
have been successfully fabricated and characterized. RTI
Gunn diodes present clear evidence of the injector
effectiveness both in DC and RF conditions. The design,
processing and characterization of a novel GaAs Gunn diode
based VCOMMIC$^{1}$ fulfilled the second objective of this
work. A simple and straightforward processing technology
makes the proposed microwave generator competitive with
cavity oscillators and transistor based MMICs.},
