  • Abstract
    A method of construction of the Gunn oscillator for wideband frequency tuning has been developed using the ridged-waveguide cavity. The ridged waveguide can be designed to provide the dominant mode with a wide bandwidth, and also to provide the higher order cutoff modes whose resonance is a limiting factor of the tuning range for oscillators of conventional design with reduced stored energies to permit wide-band tuning. A prototype oscillator having a packaged X-band diode demonstrated an 8-18-GHz tuning range.
