Abstract
A resonant-tunnelling diode has oscillated at X-band frequencies in a microwave circuit consisting of a slot antenna coupled to a semiconfocal open resonator. Coupling between the open resonator and the slot oscillator improves the noise-to-carrier ratio by about 36 dB relative to that of the slot oscillator alone in the 100–200 kHz range. A circuit operating near 10GHz has been designed as a scale model for millimetre- and submillimetre-wave applications.
