Abstract :
A 5.2-GHz microstrip Gunn oscillator has been frequency stabilized by means of a novel microstrip discriminator and integrated feedback loop. A stabilization factor of 1000 was measured for the oscillator with art external Q of 50. The self-capture bandwidth of the discriminator circuit is large enough to eliminate the need for a search voltage to obtain initial frequency locking.
