Design and implementation of an X-band oscillator

摘要

The present work specifies the design and construction of a Gunn diode oscillator at X band (8.2 GHz¿¿¿12.4 Ghz), built in order to be coupled to rectangular waveguides WR-90. Every fundamental piece necessary for an optimal performance is detailed, as a characterization of the working device. During measurement, a qualitity factor of at least 11200 and a variable working frequency ¿¿¿ from 9.76 GHz to 9.96 Ghz ¿¿¿ were obtained. Finally, some modifications able to be implemented in future designs are specified.
