Abstract :
Design consideration and experimental performance of a new transmission-cavity-controlled silicon IMPATT diode oscillator for millimeter wavelength are described. The oscillator has the frequency stability of 1 x 10/sup -4/ over temperature variation 0/spl deg/ - 50/spl deg/C and remarkably improved noise characteristics, and is free from troublesome moding problems. Discussion is made on the circuit design that satisfies frequency stabilization, noise reduction, mode stabilization and increase of circuit efficiency.
