Electronic Frequency Stabilization of Microwave Oscillators

Two circuits for use to control the frequency of a microwave oscillator by an external high Q cavity are described. One of the circuits uses a microwave equivalent of the frequency discriminator, in conjunction with a d.c. amplifier. The other uses the cavity in a special circuit that provides an in...

description Two circuits for use to control the frequency of a microwave oscillator by an external high Q cavity are described. One of the circuits uses a microwave equivalent of the frequency discriminator, in conjunction with a d.c. amplifier. The other uses the cavity in a special circuit that provides an intermediate‐frequency signal that is a measure of the difference between the frequencies of the oscillator and cavity. This allows the use of an intermediate‐frequency amplifier. The resulting stability of the oscillators is such that audible beat frequencies can be produced between two oscillators at 10,000 Mc/sec. The resultant signal can be frequency modulated at audiofrequencies, with stabilization acting throughout the modulation cycle. A technique by which the frequency‐stabilization systems could be used to investigate, with high resolution, the structure of microwave absorption spectra is suggested.
