Fin-line oscillator

摘要

The fin-line oscillator includes a packaged diode as an active element and an impedance-matching network for matching the diode to a load and determining the frequency. In a first embodiment, the diode package (5) is mounted in a cutoff waveguide (4) connected with the waveguide (1) containing the fin line. The fins (2) of the fin line extend a given distance into the cutoff waveguide. In further embodiments, the diode package is mounted in or on the substrate on which the fins of the fin line are deposited.
