Abstract :
Design consideration and experimental performance of a new transmission-cavity-controlled Silicon-lMPATT-diode oscillator for millimeter wavelengths are described. The oscillator has the frequency stability of 1 x 10-4 over a temperature variation of 0-50°C and remarkably improved noise characteristics, and is free from troublesome moding problems. Discussion is made of the circuit design that satisfies frequency stabilization, noise reduction, mode stabilization, and circuit-efficiency improvement.
