GHz Tunable Gunn Oscillator in WR - 137 Waveguide
نویسندگان
چکیده
The conventional technique of realising waveguide resonators for Gunn diode oscillators to operate at the band edge of the waveguide fails owing to the excitation of a coaxial mode resonance formed by the post and the side walls of the waveguide. One of the solutions to the problem is to mount the diode in a ridged waveguide resonator, This has been demonstrated by constructing an 8 GHz Gunn oscillator using a single ridge in WR-137 waveguide. The steps in designing the oscillator system are ajso presented.

Modelling and Characterisation of a Broadband 85/170 GHz Schottky Varactor Frequency Doubler
In this thesis, a frequency doubler is designed to produce a broadband local oscillator signal (LO) around 200 GHz. A linear array of four Schottky varactors are incorporated into a GaAs flip-chip in a balanced anti-series configuration [1], so as to generate the second harmonic of the incoming signal. The varactor chip is soldered to a suspended microstrip quartz circuit, which constitutes the...
متن کاملA Low-noise Band Pass Filter Using an X-band Injection- Locked Gunn Oscillator
In this paper, we report the design and implementation of a low-noise, tunable, active microwave band pass filter (BPF) which incorporates an injection-locked Gunn oscillator. The BPF has a centre frequency of 10.30 GHz and a 3-dB bandwidth of 52 MHz. Calculation shows that this active BPF can reduce the input signal AM noise by at least 38 dB. This BPF possesses signal amplification as well as...

This paper presents a microwave reflectometer using self-mixing oscillator antennas. A unique characteristic of the proposed reflectometer is its simple structure without a circulator and a directional coupler. Each self-mixing oscillator antenna utilizes a Gunn diode as an active device and a rectangular waveguide as a resonator and a radiator. The determination of dielectric properties of mat...
