  • Abstract
    A method of controlling the conventionally noisy FM characteristics of an IMPATT diode oscillator by properly terminating the second harmonic frequency is described. The result is also characterized by a self-locking mechanism with a resulting mechanical tuning range, via the second harmonic circuit, of up to 100 MHz at lower X-band. Effects of second harmonic tuning on IMPATT reflection - type amplifier operating bandwidth is also discussed.
