Abstract :
An X-band GaAs f.e.t. oscillator is described that uses a novel configuration, designated `reverse-channel oscillator¿. This provides output powers of up to 0.94 W at 8 GHz and efficiencies as high as 37%. At a higher frequency this configuration provided approximately 300 mW output at 17.5 GHz.
