Abstract
The development of an hybrid dielectric resonator oscillator (DRO) based on a MMIC MESFET is described. Only one circuit was designed to cover the K band frequency range. A common source topology with series feedback was employed. The dielectric resonator is coupled to the gate line of the MESFET. Typical results in the K band frequency range with a 4 V supply voltage are an output power between 11 and 13 dBm and a phase noise better than -80 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz from carrier frequency.
