Abstract :
Summary for only given. A number of microwave plasma diagnostic techniques working in the short part of the millimeter wave band require high stability sources with output power about 0.5-1 Watt and the high resolution receiving system. New opportunities for the collective scattering and interferometry can provide a new type of electrovacuum device-Diffraction Radiation Oscillators (DRO) and locked measuring systems based on the DROs. The high stability Vector Analyzer of the superheterodyne type with coherent heterodyning was developed and investigated in a short part of the mm band. The source of the band is the DRO locked in by PLL-system with frequency standard. That allowed increase of the long-time instability up to 5×10-10
