Varactor Tuned Gunn Oscillators
Varactor tuned Gunn oscillators utilize high performance GaAs Gunn diodes and various cavity configurations to deliver moderate output power with low AM/FM noise and harmonic emissions. The oscillators are specially designed for a broader tuning bandwidth and an electrical tuning capability. The standard offering covers the frequency range of 8.2 to 110 GHz and features a self-locking set screw for fine frequency setting. While standard models offer a waveguide interface, a coaxial interface is also available. The performance of the oscillator can be further enhanced by adding an isolator, Gunn oscillator modulator/regulator, and temperature heater.

Volume Production Oscillators
Volume production oscillators utilize either high performance GaAs Gunn diodes with high Q cavity designs or state-of-the-art FET devices with dielectric resonators to yield excellent phase noise and stability. These oscillators are free running with extremely high frequency and power stability. The oscillators are generally designed and manufactured for fixed frequency applications. However, fine frequency adjustments can be achieved by mechanically tuning the provided self-locking screw. While the below standard models are offered for immediate production release, custom models are also available.

Wide Mechanical Tuning Bandwidth Gunn Oscillators
Wide mechanical tuning bandwidth Gunn oscillators utilize high performance GaAs Gunn diodes and various cavity designs to yield near full band frequency coverage. Unlike dual-tuner oscillators, frequency and power optimization are accomplished by a single micrometer. Furthermore, these oscillators can be modified into electrically tunable oscillators by replacing the micrometer with an electrical actuator. The wide tuning bandwidth of these oscillators offers a low cost, high performance means of signal generation, making them ideal test sources for labs and antenna ranges. While standard models offer a waveguide interface, a coaxial interface is also available. When used with a Gunn oscillator regulator/modulator (SOR series), these oscillators can produce AM or FM modulated signals for many test applications.
