Abstract:
The signal and phase noise properties of two planar integrated tunable GaAs-MESFET oscillators with different resonator circuits at the gate terminal of the transistor are investigated using nonlinear calculation methods. The phase noise is calculated in the time domain by perturbation methods. The single sideband phase noise of a varactor-tunable microwave oscillator is reduced significantly to a value of -95 dBc/Hz, at an offset frequency of 100 kHz using a coupled microstrip line at the gate...     »
