<p>An oscillator (10) operational in the millimeter wave and microwave range, including frequencies greater than 60 GHz, is provided with reduced phase noise by enhancing Q of the resonant circuitry by reactively terminating fundamental frequency oscillation and increasing stored fundamental frequency energy in the resonant circuitry. A two frequency system is provided with constructive reflection of energy at fundamental frequency back to the resonant circuitry, and with isolation of fundamental frequency energy from the output load. Energy to the output load is obtained from the insitu generated second harmonic of the active element (14). Phase noise is reduced by enhancing Q by more than an order of magnitude. A tuning circuit (16) including a varactor diode (18) and inductance (20) is coupled to the active device (14) and provides resonant circuitry in combination therewith. <IMAGE></p> |
