Abstract
A theory describing arrays of coupled millimeter-wave oscillators is presented, and two important applications of such arrays-CW power combining, and a novel mode-locking technique for pulse generation-are discussed. Conditions for establishing mutual synchronization and the correct phase relationships have been investigated with the theory and verified experimentally using several prototype X-band arrays.<>
