Abstract
AbstractFrequency stability of a 60‐GHz nonradiative dielectric (NRD) waveguide InP Gunn diode oscillator has been improved based on the phase‐locked‐loop technique. All the millimeter wave circuit elements needed, including the directional coupler, circulator, and so on, have been fabricated by using the NRD waveguide and a new approach has been introduced for harmonic mixer configuration by combining an NRD waveguide and a laterally shielded coplanar transmission line. By means of this approach, the millimeter wave circuit can be contained in a compact housing of 4 cm × 6 cm in area. The stability of the oscillation frequency of the fabricated Gunn oscillator was 2.1 × 10−10 (13 Hz/60 GHz). Further, the phase noise was kept to a small value of ‐48 dBc/Hz. The present results confirm the applicability of the NRD waveguide in the 60‐GHz band.
