Abstract
A low phase noise Dielectric Resonator Oscillator (DRO) incorporating GaAs Gunn diode using microstrip configuration has been designed and developed at 28.75 GHz. The power output of = 21 dBm and a frequency tuning of ± 20 MHz has been obtained at 28.75 GHz with frequency drift of ± 20 MHz over temperature range form -10°C to +55°C. The phase noise of DRO has been improved when compared to free running Gunn oscillator and is better than -100 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz away from carrier.
