Abstract :
The letter describes the implementation of a phase-locking scheme described earlier to a 35 GHz Gunn solid-state source (SSS). The CLTF is developed, a loop filter is chosen and the response to a step disturbance is measured. This response is compared to the theoretical response obtained by a Runge-Kutta simulation.
