Description
A mechanically and electronically tunable Gunn oscillator
designed to generate RF power in the range of 14.20 to
15.35 GHz. This VCO is suitable as the local oscillator in
a receiver assembly for a point-to-point microwave radio.
A Gunn diode and GaAs abrupt 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.
