Technological improvements have been made to realise high-efficiency GaAs Schottky-barrier IMPATT diodes in the 50 GHz band. Efficiency and output power have been increased by a factor of 1.5 over previous best results. Efficiency as high as 11.0% at 51 GHz and an output power of 420 mW at 53 GHz have been obtained.
