Description

A solid-state microwave oscillator that generates high-frequency signals (typically in the GHz range) using a Gunn diode as the active component. The Gunn diode exhibits a negative differential resistance characteristic, which enables it to generate microwave oscillations when biased correctly. These oscillators are widely used in microwave communication systems, radar, and laboratory test equipment due to their stable frequency output and high power capabilities. Microwave Gunn oscillators are often preferred in applications requiring tunable frequency sources or low-noise performance.
