Abstract
This paper describes two methods of magnetically tuning the frequency of a microstrip TRAPATT oscillator. Tuning ranges in excess of 100 MHz at a center frequency of 2 GHz have been obtained at peak output power levels of typically 40 W with variations in output power of +-0.2 dB. In one of the methods the harmonics of the oscillator are separated which may enable additional diagnostic information to be obtained for the TRAPATT oscillator.
