  • Abstract
    Observations have been made of the relation between temperature and bias-induced frequency variations of CW X-band Gunn oscillators. The results indicate that a large part of the frequency modulation through the bias circuit at modulation frequencies below approximately 1 MHz can be caused by modulation of the device temperature. Other modulation processes also occur.
