Millimeter-Wave Self Mixing Oscillators,

Abstract

The self-mixing oscillator has been of considerable interest in recent years because it embodies simplifications for the circuitry of electronic systems. Schottky barrier and other rectifier diodes suffer from the disadvantage of fragility and low burn-out power limit. Bulk effect self-oscillating mixers using the non-linearity of transferred electron (GUNN) devices offer competitive sensitivities and the attractive feature of high power handling capability.
