Q-dependence of Gunn Oscillator FM Noise (Short Papers)
Heinrich Herbst, A. Ataman · IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques · 1973
Measurements of FM noise and the external quality factor Q/sub ex/ of X-band Gunn oscillators are reported which show that both unconverted and intrinsic FM noise vary inversely as Q/sub ex/, if bias voltage, RF power, and frequency are kept constant.
