Abstract :
This paper describes a reflex-type velocity-variation oscillator tube with a wide tuning range in the microwave band. The tube will oscillate from 2000 to 13,000 megacycles, but practical tuning considerations limit the band in any one circuit to a two-to-one frequency range. The problems involved in the design and a description of the various elements are given.
