Abstract :
A simplified computer model of a TRAPATT oscillator has been utilized to investigate harmonic tuning effects. The results of an investigation of realistic waveforms provide insight into the tuning conditions necessary for high-efficiency operation. Circuit impedance measurements of an S-band TRAPATT oscillator support many of the theoretical predictions.
