Magnetostatic Surface Wave Microwave Oscillator.

Abstract

This thesis presents an experimental analysis of a magnetostatic surface wave delay line used in a two-four gigahertz feedback loop oscillator. The analysis focused on the multimoding and mode hopping effects. The tuning rate, switching speed and quality factor were also examined. The results showed that the mode hopping behavior is a result of the interaction of the delay line delay and total loop delay. The multimoding behavior was found to be a function of the loop gain and the delay lines insertion loss, bandpass and delay. Two approaches to help reduce these undesirable effects were outlined.
