Abstract

Large-signal operation of the ATT oscillator may be achieved smoothly as a function of dc bias current by simultaneously satisfying the start-oscillation conditions for the fundamental and the second harmonic of the desired operating frequency. The theoretical conditions along with experimental confirmation are presented.
