Abstract

1,135,335. Semi-conductor oscillators. NATIONAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORP. 3 May, 1967 [6 May, 1966], No. 20141/66. Heading H3T. In a semi-conductor oscillator having a semiconductor device 1 of the kind having the bulk property of exhibiting a current/voltage characteristic having a region of negative differential resistivity which allows current to switch from a high level to a lower level as a voltage applied across the device is increased, a resonant circuit is connected to the semi-conductor device so as to present an impedance at the second harmonic which is high compared to that presented to the fundamental frequency of the oscillator. This enhances the power output at the fundamental frequency of the oscillator. In the microwave oscillator shown (Fig. 2a) a coaxial cavity is provided with a choke 2 which provides low inductive impedance at the fundamental frequency but provides a high impedance at the second harmonic frequency. The cavity can be approximately one eighth the wavelength of the fundamental frequency (Fig. 2c, not shown), and is tuned by non-contacting tuning plungers 3. The oscillator output is connected to a resistive load by a coupling loop 4. The semi-conductor device may be of gallium arsenide or gallium arsenide phosphide.
