Abstract
In this paper, we presented a Vt-DRO with a wide electrical frequency tuning range, using open-loop gain method. The Vt-DRO was composed of 3-stages, resonator, amplifier and phase shifter. In order to satisfy an oscillation condition, we determined magnitude and phase of each stage. The measured S-parameter of cascaded 3-stages shows open-loop oscillation condition. Also, using measured open loop group delay, we derived the relation for electrical frequency tuning range. The Vt-DRO was implemented by connecting the input and the output of the designed open-loop and resulted in closed-loop. As a results, tuning-range of Vt-DRO is 82 MHz, which is close to the predicted results for tuning voltage 0${\sim}$10 V and shows linear frequency tuning at the center frequency of 5.3 GHz. The phase noise is -104 ${\pm}$1 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset frequency and power is 5.86${\pm}$1 dBm respectively.
