  28. Summary of Transferred Electron Devices - 1 Ref: Golio (2003) • Widely used in oscillators from the microwave through high mm-wave frequency bands. • Good RF output power capability (mW to W level) • Moderate efficiency (20%) • Excellent noise and bandwidth capability

  29. Summary of Transferred Electron Devices - 2 Ref: Golio (2003) • Fabricated at low cost • Excellent price-to-performance ratio, for example, most common oscillator device used in police automotive radars • Many commercially available solid-state sources for 60 to 100 GHz (for example, automotive collision-avoidance radars) often use InP TEDs.
