METHOD FOR PRODUCING A UNIT COMPONENT COMPRISING AN OSCILLATOR DIODE AND A VARIABLE CAPACITY DIODE AND FREQUENCY-ACCORDABLE TRANSMITTER COMPRISING SUCH A UNIT COMPONENT

摘要

The invention relates to solid-state MILLIMETER WAVE SOURCES USING OSCILLATING DIODES, PARTICULARLY OF THE AVALANCHE TYPE, TUNABLE BY TIGHT COUPLING WITH A VARIABLE CAPACITY DIODE. / P P THE PROCESS USED TO OBTAIN A UNIT COMPONENT COMPRISING THE TWO DIODES 10, 20 IS TO MOUNT THE OSCILLATOR DIODE 10 ON A PIEDESTAL 11 AT THE CENTER OF A SOCKET 12 AS SUPPORT AND GROUND TO THE WHOLE. A "QUARTZ" GLASS RING 15, SUPPORTING A PREDETERMINED DIAMETER METAL DISC 14, ALLOWS RADIAL SPACE BETWEEN TWO METAL PLANS TO PROMOTE OSCILLATION FREQUENCY IN A PREDETERMINED BAND. ANOTHER RING 17 WELDED TO DISC 14 RECEIVES A SOCKET 16 EQUIPPED IN ITS CENTER OF A DIODE 20 WITH VARIABLE CAPACITY. FLEXIBLE CONNECTIONS 13, 18 WELDED TO DIODES 10, 20 ARE PUNCHED BETWEEN RINGS 15, 17 AND DISC 14. / P P APPLICATION TO MICROWAVE EMITTERS, ESPECIALLY TO 94GHZ.
