Back plate mounted X-band lumped element Gunn oscillator
Abstract
A lumped X-band Gunn oscillator mounted on the waveguide back plate is shown to provide full power output and tunability, with provision for altering the coupling to the waveguide in steps and/or continuously. The oscillator obtains its excitation through the extension of the hairpin-loop wire. This run of wire is approximately a quarter-wave long; it forms the last element in the low-pass filter through which the dc power is supplied.
