Abstract :
The program described herein was intended to yield an extremely versatile, broad band, voltage-tuned oscillator capable of covering the full operating bandwidth of RG-91/U wave-guide. Simplicity of operation, extreme ruggedness, and ease of fabrication were of prime consideration. Operating characteristics of the final tubes are described in detail. Particular emphasis is placed on the reproducible tuning characteristics, the insensitivity to frequency pulling, and the unusually narrow output frequency spectrum which exhibits roughly one tenth the width of good klystron spectra.
