  • Abstract
    A monolithic X-band GaAs FET oscillator has been developed. Passive circuit components are lumped capacitors and inductors on semi-insulating GaAs; the chip size is 1.2 × 1.4 mm2. Stabilised with a Ba2Ti9O20 dielectric resonator, the oscillator delivers more than 30 mW output power at 10.8 GHz with a maximum chip efficiency of 20%. The frequency drift is better than 1 × 10¿6/K from ¿20°C to 80°C.
