Analysis of a Microwave Resonator-Feedback Oscillator (Correspondence)

The temperature stability of the oscillation frequency, (/spl Delta//spl omega/ / /spl omega/)/ /spl Delta/T, of an S-band feedback oscillator is derived in terms of the temperature stability of the stable resonator and that of the circuits external to the resonator. Conditions have been established for the optimum external circuit to achieve temperature stability of the oscillation frequency.
