Dielectric Resonator Oscillators Theory and State-of-the-Art

Abstract

With the advent of high-Q temperature-stable dielectric material, the transistor dielectric resonator oscillator (DRO) is fast becoming the most desirable choice in a vast number of fixed-frequency microwave signal source applications. A DRO clearly fills the gap between a free-running oscillator and a synthesized source, and represents a good compromise of cost, size and performance compared to alternative signal sources such as high-Q cavity oscillators, microstrip oscillators or multiplied crystal oscillators.
