  • Abstract
    Improvements in power, efficiency, and FM sensitivity are achieved experimentally with Impatt oscillators which are operated so that the second harmonic lies in the frequency range for classical Read operation. The improvement in performance is accomplished by providing a trapped resonance at the second harmonic, in addition to the required tuning at the output frequency.
