A 23 GHz Dielectric Resonator Stabilized Monolithic MESFET Oscillator

A monolithic GaAs 23 GHz dielectric resonator oscillator (DRO) was designed and fabricated. RF measurements concerning output power and noise properties were carried out. At maximum RF power of typical 16 mW a corresponding SSB noise measure of 38 dB was evaluated. The phase noise at 10 kHz off carrier was determined to be ¿78 dBc/Hz.
