Abstract

In this paper a complete analysis to the stability of a microwave oscillator with distributed element resonator is presented. In this type of oscillators, the circuit description changes form ordinary differential equations to partial deferential equations. In this paper a Gunn diode oscillator with distributed elements resonator is analyzed. The instability condition of the startup phase and the stability condition of the steady state oscillation is investigated.
