Description
A mechanically and electronically tunable Gunn
oscillator designed to generate RF power in the range of
21.2 to 23.6 GHz. This VCO is suitable as the transmitter
in point-to-point microwave radio systems. A Gunn
diode and GaAs hyperabrupt varactor diode are coupled
in a single high Q cavity to provide low AM/FM noise,
excellent frequency and power stability with respect to
changes in operating temperature.
