Monolithic microwave FET oscillator temperature-stabilised with a Schottky diode as a sensor
Abstract
A monolithic microwave FET oscillator built in GaAs is frequency-stabilized with temperature using a Schottky diode as a temperature sensor. The monolithic integrated circuit includes both the oscillator (f = 7.44 GHz) and its temperature sensor. The actual performance gives a stabilization of the frequency to better than 1 MHz in the temperature range from -40 to +80 C.
