  • Abstract
    A 16-channel tunnel diode grid oscillator has been fabricated. The grid oscillates at 1.86 GHz with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 1.3 mW. Frequency components were observed at multiples of one-third of the main frequency, but at power levels at least 16 dB lower. The average single-sideband (SSB) noise level was measured to be -76 dBc/Hz at an offset of 100 kHz from the carrier.
