Feedback Control Analysis of Microwave Oscillator Stabilization with a Transmission Cavity

This paper shows cavity stabilization of microwave oscillators can be characterized by a Type O (AFC) servomechanism. Stabilized phase noise spectral density can now be analyzed as a function of modulation rate. Measured phase noise data of stabilized IMPATT and Gunn oscillators are compared with th...

Summary:This paper shows cavity stabilization of microwave oscillators can be characterized by a Type O (AFC) servomechanism. Stabilized phase noise spectral density can now be analyzed as a function of modulation rate. Measured phase noise data of stabilized IMPATT and Gunn oscillators are compared with the new theory.
