A TUNABLE TUNNEL-DIODE CONVERTER,
Abstract
Mechanically tunable tunnel-diode converters were developed which cover the 1.0-to 6.0-Gc frequency range in four bands. Tunnel-diode oscillators are used with separate backward tunnel-diode mixers to achieve low noise figure performance that rivals conventional crystal mixers. The oscillators employ a novel cavity-stabilization technique to obtain a high degree of frequency stability with temperature, bias, and load variations. Design considerations and detailed performance characteristics are presented for an S-band tunnel-diode oscillator and an S-band backward tunnel-diode mixer. (Author)
