Abstract :
Microwave oscillators can be designed in a variety of ways and with different solid state devices. This paper describes the frequency variation which has been obtained with an optically tuned dielectric Gunn oscillator and an invasively tuned dielectric resonator oscillator using an FET as the active element.
