Abstract
Varactor-tuned millimeter-wave IMPATT diode oscillators in microstrip form using chip-mounted diodes are described. A nearly level output power of 28 ± 8 mW was achieved over a 6-GHz tuning range. Tunable bandwidths as high as 8 GHz with 6-26 mW of power were obtained from a single source. P-type epitaxial silicon IMPATT diodes were used for both the active device and the tuning varactor functions.
