Abstract :
This paper presents a high-quality factor (Q) X-band oscillator that utilizes a planar metamaterial-inspired modified split ring resonator (mSRR) in its design. The mSRR of this paper has a quality factor above 300 at 7.89GHz. Design of an X-band oscillator circuit is presented in this paper. In comparison to dielectric resonators, metamaterial resonators can prove to be reliable under harsh conditions, and lead to low-cost, compact and light-weight circuits.
