Abstract
An oscillator with several tunneling devices connected in series has a demanding excitation condition due to the DC instability of the serie s connection. An RF source with a frequency close to the oscillation f requency may be used to overcome this problem. The experimental demons tration of an RF source excitation of an oscillator with two tunnel di odes in series at 2 GHz is described here. The RF power necessary for the excitation is about 15 dB lower than the output power of the oscil lator.
