Abstract
In this paper, we develop the PLL system of the local oscillator system using Gunn oscillator VCO for millimeter wave band receiving system. The local oscillator system consists of the $86{\sim}115GHz$ Gunn. diode oscillator part, the RF processing part including the diplexer and the harmonic mixer, and the DPLL system including Gunn modulator and controller. Based on this configuration, we verify the frequency and power stability of the developed local oscillator system. We developed system which applied to DPLL technique instead of the existing analog PLL method to accomplish this purpose. The developed system for this purpose is tested the frequency and power stability for a long time to confirm performance. Since we confirmed this system that had frequency characteristic of within ${\pm}10Hz$, very fine output drift power characteristic of $0.2{\sim}0.3dBm$ and about 200MHz locking range, it verified suitable for cosmic radio receiving system through the test result.
