Optimization of S-band TRAPATT oscillators
Abstract
The optimization of S-band TRAPATT oscillators has been investigated experimentally from both the device and circuit points of view. Methods for selecting a device for optimum operation with a given circuit are discussed. A relatively straightforward circuit optimization technique has resulted in an increase in oscillator efficiency of between 5 and 8 percentage points, representing an RF power increase of approximately 20 percent.
