An Integrated Varactor Tuned Coaxial Gunn Oscillator for 60 GHz Operation.

Abstract

In general, the invention according to our concept comprehends a millimeter wave oscillator which comprises, in combination, a housing or base portion which is provided with a resonating cavity, a solid state mechanically tuneable element which is adjustably moveably disposed in the housing, conveniently by means of a threaded engagement in a brass collar or the like fitting secured to the housing, which tuneable element is capable of producing millimeter-wave energy output at a frequency corresponding to its position in the resonate cavity, and a solid state electronically tuneable element arranged and physically disposed concentrically with same. Position adjustment means are provided exterior of the housing and operably connect to the mechanically tuneable element. Mechanical means connect between the mechanically tuneable element and the exteriorly located position adjustment means, and an electrical bias source is provided for each of the tuneable elements.
