16 GHz dielectric resonator oscillators with digital temperature compensation
Abstract
A digital compensation technique for improving the temperature stability of dielectric resonator oscillators (DROs) is described. Current results with a 16.1 GHz DRO show a reduction in the temperature sensitivity of frequency of almost two orders of magnitude from 309 ppm to 3.8 ppm over the range of 16 to 52 C. This is an average value of only 0.1 ppm/C.
