To Plot the V-I Characteristics of Gunn Diode.

Procedure

To perform the experiment follow the steps:

Step-1: Click on Components button for components to pop up.

Step-2: Click on the "Components", drag them to the test bench and place them as shown in fig. 1.

Step-3: After placing the components on the test bench, connect the wires accordingly.

Step-4: If your connections are correct then you may continue to take down the readings, if not then click on "Reset Button" and try it again.

Step-5: Move the "Gunn Bias" knob and set it to 0.5 or above to record your readings.

Step-6: Toggle the switch button to get the value of Gunn Diode Current.

Step-7: Click on Add to table to take down the values of Gunn Bias Voltage and Gunn Diode Current.

Step-8: Toggle the switch button again for Gunn Bias Voltage and move the "Gunn Bias" knob for different reading.

Step-9: Repeat the process for almost 7 different readings as you did for the first reading.

Step-10: Click on "Plot" button to plot a graph as per your readings.

Step-11: If you want to save the graph click on the camera icon just above the graph.

Step-12: If you want to take down more readings, then click on "Close" Button.

Step-13: And repeat the same process to take down the readings as you did for the first reading.

Step-14: Click on "Print" button to print your current page (readings and connections) or to save your page (readings and connections) in a PDF form. After clicking on "Print Button" set the layout as "Landscape" to get a proper view of the page then go to more settings and click on the checkbox named "Background graphics".
