Abstract :
The feasibility of using a dual-gate GaAs MESFET with Mo-Au gates as a Ku or K-band osciplier has been demonstrated. Two test oscipliers were measured, one osciplier in Ku-band delivered 16.3 dBm at 12 GHz, while the other in K-band offered 9.0 dBm output power at 18.2 GHz and 3.8 dBm at 22 GHz.
