Ka-Band Mechanically Tuned Gunn Oscillator

SOM-35306313-28-S1 is a Ka-Band, mechanically tuned bandwidth Gunn oscillator that utilizes a high-performance GaAs Gunn diode and proprietary cavity design to deliver +13 dBm typical power with low AM/FM noise and harmonic emissions. The oscillator has a center frequency of 35 GHz and a mechanical tuning range of ±3000 MHz. Compared to its multiplier based counterparts, the Gunn oscillator is a lower cost alternative and a cleaner source. The “S1” Gunn oscillator model is equipped with a self-locking set screw for frequency tuning. Models with a micrometer for quick frequency tuning and test bench applications are available under model number with a “M1” affix for use in system integration applications. The performance of the oscillator can be further enhanced by adding an optional integrated isolator, Gunn oscillator modulator/regulator, and temperature heater.
