Abstract
The TUNNETT-Diode as self-mixing oscillator is described. Noise perfor mance and back-bias-effect are important for this application. A conve rsion gain of 28 dB and a corresponding minimum detectable signal of - 148 dBm in 1 Hz bandwidth were measured at -20 dBm output power level. The best achieved value for RTL was 148 dB at a modulation frequency of 100 kHz.
