U-Band Wide Mechanical Tuning Bandwidth Gunn Oscillator, 44 to 56 GHz

Copyright © 2018 by SAGE Millimeter, Inc.

Description:

Model SOF-1917-MI is a U-Band, wide mechanical tuning

bandwidth Gunn oscillator that utilizes a high performance

GaAs Gunn diode and proprietary cavity design to deliver +17

dBm typical power with low AM/FM noise and harmonic

emissions. The oscillator has a center frequency of 50 GHz and

a mechanical tuning range of ±6 GHz. Compared to its

multiplier based counterparts, the Gunn oscillator is a lower

cost alternative and a cleaner source. In addition, this model

features an integrated isolator to achieve a more stable performance. By adding a Gunn oscillator

modulator/regulator and temperature heater, the performance of the oscillator can be enhanced even

further.

Features:

• Low AM/FM Noise and Harmonics

• Broad Mechanical Tuning Bandwidth

• Micrometer Tuner
