Abstract
We have demonstrated a monolithic grid oscillator that shows 1 watt of effective transmitter power at 38 GHz. Use of a wire twist reflector as an external feedback element added to a successful monolithic grid amplifier allows a tuning range from 37.5 GHz to 41 GHz. Impedance matching is accomplished by a double-slug tuner and the movable back-short of the twist reflector.
