Abstract
The grooved mirror type Fabry-Perot (GFP) oscillator is used for coher ent power-combining of multi-elements in millimeter and submillimeter wave region. The admittance of the Gunn diode in oscillation has been measured experimentally in the millimeter wave region for designing th e GFP oscillator. The gain characteristics of the diode has been found at the frequencies from 42 to 48 GHz from the measured results. With this Gunn diode in the GFP resonator, the oscillation has been observe d. These experimental results indicated that for impedance matching be tween the diode and the resonant cavity the groove height must be adju sted.
