Abstract
A real-space charge-transfer device is disclosed. In particular, a Gunn diode is disclosed having a conductive structure fabricated overlying its active region. A secondary signal, other than the normal Gunn diode signal, is generated by the Gunn diode based upon a characteristic of the overlying conductive structure. For example, when the conductive structure is a grate having N teeth the secondary signal will have N secondary oscillation cycles that occur during the duration of a single normal Gunn diode oscillation cycle.
