Oscillistor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Oscillistor is a semiconductor device, consisting of a semiconductor specimen placed in magnetic field and a resistor after a power supply.
Term is bounded with the high frequency oscillations the device is producing, which are very close to sinusoidal.
The basic principle of operation is the effect of spiral unsteadiness of electron-hole (p-n) plasma.
