Abstract

Electrical characteristics of two types of 20 GHz Push-Push GaAs MESFET dielectric resonator oscillators having Wilkinson and T-junction power combiners for the output stage have been investigated and compared. So we have explained that the output power and phase noise properties of the Push-push FET DRO are depending on return loss and isolation characteristics of power combiner at the fundamental and the second harmonic frequencies. A Push-push oscillator for suppressing the fundamental frequency of 10 GHz and enhancing the second harmonic of 20 GHz has been designed and fabricated in microstrip configuration on 20 mil thick RT-Duroid($\varepsilon$$_{r}$ = 2.52) Teflon substrate. Return loss and isolation characteristics of T-junction and Wilkinson have been measured at the fundamental frequency of 10.2 GHz and the second harmonic frequency of 20.5 GHz. At the fundamental frequency, -12 dB return loss and -3.7 dB isolation have been measured for the T-junction power combiner, and -14 dB return loss and -11 dB isolation fur the Wilkinson power combiner. At the second harmonic frequency, -10 dB return loss and -7.5 dB isolation have been obtained for the T-junction power combiner, and -23 dB return loss and -22 dB isolation for the Wilkinson power combiner. As a result, we have confirmed that the oscillator based on the Wilkinson power combiner with better retrun loss and isolation characteristics produces more output power and better phase noise characteristics..

본 논문에서는 Push-Push FET유전체 공진기 발진기를 20 GHz에서 설계, 제작하고 출력단에 각각 Wilkinson 전력결합기와 T 접합 전력결합기를 사용하였을 때의 각 결합기의 반사손실과 격리도 특성에 따른 발진기의 출력특성을 조사하여 이들 특성이 출력과 위상잡음 특성에 각각 영향을 주는 것을 설명한다. 기본 주파수 10 GHz를 억제하고 제 2고조파 주파수를 이용하는 20 GHz Push-Push발진기는 T $E_{01}$$\delta$/모드의 유전체 공진기와 GaAs MESFET를 높이 H = 20 mil($\varepsilon_{{\gamma}}$/=2.52) 테프론 기판 위에 장착하는 구조로 설계하고 제작하였다. 기본주파수에서 T-접합 전력결합기는 반사손실 -12 dB, 격리도 -3.7 dB 이었고, Wilkinson 전력결합기는 반사손실 -14 dB, 격리도 -11 dB 이었다. 그리고 제 2 고조파 주파수에서 T-접합 전력결합기는 반사손실 -10 dB, 격리도 -7.5 dB 이었고, Wilkinson 전력 결합기 는 반사손실 -23 dB, 격리도 -22 dB를 보였다. 결과적으로 반사손실과 격리도 특성이 좋은 Wilkinson 전력 결합기를 출력 단으로 이용한 Push-Push 발진기 가 출력전력레벨면이나 위상잡음특성면에서 T-접합 전력결합기를 이용한 발진기보다 우수한 특성을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.발진기보다 우수한 특성을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.
