Abstract :
Frequency/temperature compensation of millimeter-wave, lumped-element, Gunn oscillators and broadband VCO´s by use of a simple capacitive compensating element has been demonstrated with performance that includes +-1.5 ppm/°C frequency stability at 30 GHz over a temperature range of -40° to +71°C. A printed-circuit oscillator, in which the temperature compensating capacitor is printed in situ with the circuit elements, will also be described.
