A Gunn waveguide-oscillator, mechanically tunable from 60 to 70 GHz, has been developed for use as a local oscillator(LO) is millimeter radio telescope. Disc size, post size and characteristics of Gunn diode have an effect on the frequency tuning characteristics of Gunn oscillator. In this paper we report experimental results and design criteria for a wideband tunable Gunn oscillator. The developed Gunn oscillator has been used in the 100/150 GHz band dual channel receiver for the Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory.

This study performs the analytical investigation of the oscillation voltages at the tanks of the series tuned varactor incorporating balanced common-drain, and common-gate Colpitts VCO which are able to work even at the sub-1V power supply voltages. The results the investigation predicts is verified by the simulation on the circuit behaviors of the two VCOs. The analytical investigation finds that the series tuned varactor incorporating balanced common-gate VCO generates greater oscillation voltage at the tank than the series tuned varactor incorporating balanced common-drain VCO does, which in turn is more suitable for generating the low phase noise oscillation signal from the sub-1V supply voltage than the series tuned varactor incorporating balanced common-drain VCO.

Generally, the output matching circuit has the most influence to the output power of oscillator and existing method for output matching has difficulty for making the optimum output matching circuit because the matching has to be done nearby the infinite impedance area of the Smith Chart. In this paper, it is studied for the output matching circuit of the microwave oscillator to get the maximum output power. The maximum output point can be found by adjusting the position of moving short in the Tuner while the oscillator is operating after connect the 3-dB coupler Tuner to the oscillator without output matching circuit. To design the oscillator for the maximum output power can be done easily with the microstrip line which is realized from the measured S-parameters of Tuner. In compare the oscillator by the existing method with another one by the suggested method in this paper, the first one has 6.45 dBm output power and second one has 9.71 dBm which is 3.26 dBm higher than the first one at the oscillation frequency 1.0338 GHz.

This paper has presented a low phase noise oscillator using a square open loop with microstrip structure. A square open loop resonator has a large coupling coefficient value, which makes a high Q value, and has reduced phase noise. This oscillator has presented the oscillation frequency of 5.84 GHz, harmonics of -15.83 dBc and the phase noise of -111.17 dBc/Hz at the offset frequency of 100 kHz. In conclusion, the proposal structure has improved phase noise of 15 dB at the offset frequency of 100 kHz compared with the conventional structure of oscillator.

A PLDRO(Phase Locked Dielectric Resonator Oscillator) in Ku-band(10.95-11.70GHz) is designed with the concept of the feedback property of PLL(Phase Locked Loop). A series feedback type DRO is developed, and VCDRO(Voltage Controlled Dielectric Resonator Oscillator) using a varactor diode as a voltage-variable capacitor is implemented to tune oscillating frequency electrically. Then, PLDRO is designed by using a SPD(Sampling Phase Detector). This PLDRO is phase-locked voltage controlled DRO to reference source(VHF band) by SPD at 10.00 GHz for European FSS(Fixed Satellite Service). The PLDRO generates output power greater than 10dBm at 10.00 GHz and has phase noise of -80 dBc/Hz at 10 KHz offset from carrier. This PLDRO achieves much better frequency stability than conventional VCDRO.

A technique used to induce maximum oscillating voltage in the BJT Clapp VCO is presented. The technique finds the optimal feedback capacitance values resulting in the largest oscillating signal swing across the resonator at a given bias state and the VCO's center frequency. By doing so, the presented technique attains the lowest phase noise which the BJT Clapp VCO can have. An analysis of the measurement results of the fabricated oscillators has verified that the VCO with the optimal feedback capacitance values actually exhibits the lowest phase noise.
