Tunable, High Stability, Microwave Oscillator

Abstract
This paper describes a microwave oscillator which is phase stabilized to a high‐order microwave harmonic from a stable frequency standard, and which may be conveniently tuned through any selected 200‐Mc band in the microwave frequency range. One form of this oscillator has a stability of a few parts in 108 throughout the 200‐Mc tuning range, while a slightly more complex form has a stability of a few parts in 109 through a reduced tuning range. While this oscillator has only been applied to a high resolution microwave spectrometer and to the spectrum analysis of stable cw microwave signals, it is also well adapted to gas beam maser spectroscopy.
