Abstract
A short tutorial on the Gunn-diode is presented. The principles underlying Gunn-oscillations are discussed briefly and illustrated by relevant simulations. The simulation of a typical Gunn-diode in a cavity is also presented. In conclusion, the fabrication process of low power Gunn-diodes is discussed.
