Abstract :
The design, fabrication, component selection, and performance of extremely low noise surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator and delay line oscillators, as well as an extremely low noise L-band dielectric resonator (DR) oscillator are described. To illustrate the design procedure, several specific examples are presented. It is shown that the basic feedback-loop oscillator configuration is well suited to high performance oscillator design in the VHF, U HF and microwave frequency ranges, based upon the incorporation of a two-port frequency stabilizing element. State-of-the-art performance is realized for SAW resonator and delay line based oscillators, as well as for a very simple L-band dielectric resonator oscillator design
