Q.	In microwave oscillators, negative resistance transistors and diodes are used in order to generate oscillations in the circuit.
A.	true
B.	false
Answer» A. true
Explanation: in microwave oscillator, for a current to flow in the circuit the negative impedance of the device must be matched with positive impedance. this results in current being non-zero and generates oscillation.
