Abstract :
Field effect type transistor oscillators are formed on the surface of a shielded rectangular dielectric resonator and synchronised via the dielectric LSM-mode resonance. Their combined outputs are coupled via a monolithic-compatible structure into a standard output line or guide. Measured DC-to-RF conversion efficiencies up to 35% validate the new concepts and design method.
