Abstract :
Theoretical and experimental study of photoconductive optically controlled microwave oscillator on GaAs substrate is described. This oscillator gives a 5 GHz output signal if a suitable light power is applied (ON state) and without illumination oscillations disappear (OFF state). The light is applied on the 50mum microstrip photoswitching device which presents different impedances with several light intensities
