Abstract
A microwave oscillator incorporating a varactor-tuned microstrip ring resonator was developed using a single packaged varactor diode which t ogether with other required components was mounted inside the ring str ucture. A tuning bandwidth of similar to 30% was achieved with forward and reverse biasing of the varactor diode. The measured phase noise o f the new oscillator was found to be better than -90dBc kHz from the c arrier.
