Abstract :
An efficient 2nd-harmonic-extraction coaxial TRAPATT oscillator is described. The oscillator consists of two low-impedance sections that essentially control the 2nd-harmonic load and reactive terminations. A peak power output of 25 W at 5.2 GHz is reported from an S band silicon p+¿n¿n+ TRAPATT diode.
