Abstract

A 36-element hybrid grid oscillator has been fabricated. The active devices are InP-based High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMT's). The grid oscillates at 43 GHz with an effective radiated power of 200 mW. Measurements show the E and H-plane radiation patterns have side lobes 10 dB below the main beam. These results are a significant improvement over a previous millimeter-wave grid oscillator, which had a divided beam because of substrate modes
