Abstract
An oscillator and a method of fabricating the oscillator are described. The oscillator includes a resonator with a plurality of transmission lines. An oscillation frequency of the oscillator is independent of at least one dimension of the plurality of transmission lines. The oscillator also includes a negative resistance circuit coupled to the resonator that cancels internal loss resistance of the resonator.
Claims10
A method of fabricating an oscillator, the method comprising:
- arranging a plurality of transmission lines to form a resonator whose oscillation frequency is referenced to the speed of light and is independent of at least one dimension of the plurality of transmission lines;
- and
- coupling a negative resistance circuit to the resonator, the negative resistance circuit being configured to cancel internal loss resistance of the resonator.
