Abstract :
A new digital phase-lock system for the frequency stabilisation of millimetre-wave Gunn oscillators is described. The phase-locked loop circuit is built around a new GaAs phase/frequency comparator type 16G044 developed by Gigabit Logic Inc. The digital loop is much simpler, is more reliable, and outperforms its classical analogue counterpart, especially in frequency-agile applications
