  • Abstract
    The oscillator comprises a parallel combination of diodes series mounted in the centre conductor of a coaxial-line cavity. Cavity-mode charts illustrate the effect of varactor loss. Results confirm the existence of three of the predicted modes. In one mode, the tuning range is 1.1 GHz at X band.
