Abstract :
This paper outlines the design of a 26 GHz K/Ka-band dielectric resonator oscillator (DRO) in GaAs MESFET that had the dielectric resonator (DR) mounted on chip. The measured output power was 6.5 dBm with a frequency of 25.91 GHz. We present here for the first time the simulated results of 6.3 dBm at 26.01 GHz which compares well with the measured results. The calculated DC-RF efficiency was 3.4%. The phase noise at 1 MHz from the carrier frequency was determined to be -122 dBc.
