Abstract
Magnetically tunable resonators have been constructed in microstrip on a ferrite substrate. A large tuning range is obtained with an external magnetic field applied in the direction of the RF propagation, 17 MHz/Oe for magnetic fields from 0 to 30 Oe. A variable frequency microstrip oscillator which uses this effect is described; measurements made on an X-band IMPATT oscillator illustrate a tuning range from 9.4 to 10.5 GHz with an output power of 330 mW ± 0.5 dB.
