A MIC Phase-Locked Loop Avalanche Oscillator in X Band (Short Papres)

This short paper describes the design and performances of a MIC phase-locked loop X-band avalanche oscillator. The output power (500 mW/CW), the input reference level (1 mW), the locking time (80 ns), and the simplicity of digital phase control makes it very attractive as a primary element of an active phased array.
