Abstract :
Many applications in the millimeter-wave frequency range (above 50 GHz) require highly stable mm-wave sources with reasonable output power. Although the Gunn and IMPATT diodes are the conventional power sources for mm-wave radio systems, their DC to RF conversion efficiencies, cost and power supply is not optimal. This justifies using a low cost MESFET for the active device in a miniature VCO
