Abstract :
A new and potentially powerful technique for digitally controlling the frequency of a microwave oscillator is described. The technique, which differs significantly from existing methods, makes use of a multi-feed threeport ring. The circuitry is simple and provides inherent stabilization in addition to frequency control. Measurements at X-band have been made to validate the technique, which has also been established through computer simulation.
