Design, Fabrication and Evaluation of Low Cost Diode Oscillator for Millimeter Waves.

Abstract

There are urgent requirements for millimeter-wave oscillators in the range of 60 GHz, particularly for local oscillators, receivers, and low power transmit/receive applications such as the self-oscillating mixer. This report describes the design, fabrication and evaluation of a low cost Gunn diode oscillator structure where the diode is placed adjacent to a dielectric waveguide, which in turn, provides output coupling for radiation. Ten milliwatt output power was obtained from a diode at a frequency of 60 GHz. (Author)
