Studies on the Dynamics of Bilaterally Coupled X-band Gunn Oscillators
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dynamics of a system comprising of two bilaterally coupled Gunn oscillators (BCGOs) has been examined using a circuit theoretic model of the Gunn oscillator (GO). The effects of coupling factors (kij ) between i-th and j-th oscillators on the frequency-range of synchronized operation and the magnitude of common frequency of oscillation have been examined semi-analytically and by numerical solution of the system equations. The occurrence of chaotic oscillations at the verge of synchronization bands is observed in numerical simulation. The experimental response of the BCGO operating in the X-band is obtained and the results are found to be qualitatively similar to the analytical and numerical predictions.

Studies on the Dynamics of a System of Bilaterally Coupled Chaotic Gunn Oscilla- Tors
The dynamics of a system of two bilaterally coupled chaotically oscillating X-band Gunn oscillators (GOs) has been studied by numerical simulation and by hardware experiment. The effect of variation of the coupling strengths between two oscillators in two paths has been explored. The chaotic oscillations in two GOs have become synchronized in most of the cases when coupling factors (CFs) are ar...

The dynamics of the onset of oscillations in a wave guide cavity based Gunn Oscillator (GO) has been critically examined through numerical simulations and experimental studies. The transition of the GO from a non-oscillatory to an oscillatory state and the same in the reverse direction occurs at different critical values of the dc bias voltage applied to the GO. In presence of a weak RF field i...
متن کاملTerahertz Power-Combining with Coupled Oscillator Arrays
A quasi-optical method for solid-state power-combining is discussed, with application to high-power millimeter-wave generation. The approach uses two-dimensional planar arrays of coupled oscillators. These arrays are distinguished by the strength of the coupling, which is limited to weak interactions. This simplifies both the analysis and design of the arrays. A theoretical description of the c...
متن کاملA Phase Noise Reduction Technique in LC Cross-coupled Oscillators with Adjusting Transistors Operating Regions
In this paper, an intuitive analysis of a phase noise reduction technique is done, and then a modified structure is proposed to achieve higher phase noise reduction than the original one. This method reduces the impact of noise sources on the phase noise by decreasing closed-loop gain in zero-crossings points and moving this high closed-loop gain to the non-zero-crossings points. This reduction...
