Q1: Assertion (A): Impatt diode can be used in both amplifiers and oscillators. Reason (R): Impatt diode has a low resistance.

A Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A

B Both A and R are correct but R is not correct explanation of A

C A is correct but R is wrong

D A is wrong but R is correct

ANS:B - Both A and R are correct but R is not correct explanation of A

An Impatt diode has n+ - p - i - p + structure and is used with reverse bias. It exhibits negative resistance and operates on the principle of avalanche breakdown. Impatt diode circuits are classified as broadly tunable circuit, low Q circuit and high Q circuit. The impedance of Impatt diode is a few ohms. The word Impatt stands for Impact Avalanche Transit Time diode. The features of Impatt diode oscillator are : frequency 1 to 300 GHz, Power output (0.5 W to 5 W for single diode circuit and upto 40 W for combination of several diodes), efficiency about 20%. Its applications include police radar systems, low power microwave transmitter etc.
