Abstract :
A microwave oscillator incorporating a varactor-tuned microstrip ring resonator was developed using a single packaged varactor diode which together with other required components was mounted inside the ring structure. A tuning bandwidth of ~30% was achieved with forward and reverse biasing of the varactor diode. The measured phase noise of the new oscillator was found to be better than -90 dBc kHz from the carrier
