A standing wave oscillator (SWO) is formed from a microstrip transmission line or a stripline transmission line having a closed-loop single signal trace. Using the microstrip transmission line or stripline transmission line, the SWO can be formed with bends and in complex shapes, which are not so easily realized or possible using coplanar stripline (CPS) transmission lines. Simulation results demonstrate that the microstrip and stripline transmission line based SWOs provide superior operational characteristics (e.g., higher quality factors (Qs)) compared to a CPS transmission line based SWO of similar size and geometry.
