Abstract :
The problems connected with the intensive noise oscillation excitation in the millimeter wave band are studied. With this aim in mind, the O-type backward wave oscillators, operating in the chaotic oscillation regime, are proposed. The advantages of the method suggested are the high efficiency, universal power spectrum and the feasibility of electronic tuning of the noise oscillation frequency. Low voltage packaged noise sources, operating over the 30 to 60 GHz band, make possible output power of 8-25 W and 4 W respectively and a 3-dB power spectrum width of more than 300 MHz
