Abstract :
Several experimental tunnel-diode rf oscillators which operated at frequencies from 300 to 8000 Mc are described. Power outputs of several milliwatts have been obtained at frequencies below 1000 Mc, 0.7 milliwatt at 2800 Mc, 0.2 milliwatt at 5500 Mc, and 0.01 milliwatt at 7130 Mc. Problems relating to oscillation frequency and oscillation buildup are treated analytically.
