Abstract
A semiconductor elements having N-type negative resistance characteristics are connected in series to obtain a series circuit. The two ends of the series circuit serve as drive voltage terminals to which periodic drive voltages are applied. At least one of the semiconductor elements has a control electrode to which a voltage is applied to change the peak current. A connection point between the two semiconductor elements serves as an output terminal.
