Simple Trapatt circuit for 2nd-harmonic extraction
Abstract
An efficient 2nd-harmonic-extraction coaxial Trapatt oscillator is described. The oscillator consists of two low-impedance sections that essentially control the 2nd-harmonic load and reactive terminations. A peak power output of 25 W at 5.2 GHz is reported from an S-band silicon p(+) -n-n(+) Trapatt diode.
