Summary

Description
English: A negative resistance oscillator circuit using a Gunn diode. It consists on a series resonant circuit (L and C) connected across a Gunn diode D. A DC voltage source Vb biases the diode into its negative resistance region and provides power. A choke RFC prevents the AC signal current from flowing through the voltage source. R is the equivalent damping resistance due to losses in the tuned circuit.

Actual Gunn diode oscillators use a parallel resonant circuit; this circuit uses a series resonant circuit because it is easier to analyze mathematically.
