A variable frequency microwave oscillator comprises an oscillation FET of a junction type, a fixed impedance block connected to the source of the oscillation FET for determining the drain impedance on the source of the oscillation FET, and a variable bias block including inductance connected to the drain of the oscillation FET and an impedance controlling junction FET both for determining the drain impedance of the oscillation FET of a junction type. The gate of the oscillation FET is connected to an external resonance block which generates an oscillation in association with the negative impedance appearing on the gate of the oscillation FET. The oscillation frequency is controlled by a control voltage applied to the gate of the impedance controlling FET.
A variable frequency microwave oscillator comprising a first function field effect transistor (JFET) having a gate, source and a drain, an impedance block connected to the source of said first JFET to determine a source impedance appearing on the source of said first JFET, and a variable bias block having a control terminal for receiving a control voltage and connected to the drain of said first JFET to determine a drain impedance appearing on the drain of said first JFET at a value based on said control voltage, whereby the gate of said first JFET exhibits in a certain frequency range a negative impedance for oscillation determined by said source impedance and drain impedance,
