Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an oscillator device (15) comprising an amplifier unit (16) and a tunable waveguide resonator (1) which in turn comprises a rectangular waveguide part (2) having electrically conducting inner walls (3) and a first waveguide port (4). The amplifier unit (16) is arranged to be electrically connected to the waveguide resonator (1) via the first waveguide port (4) by means of a first connector (17). The waveguide resonator (1) comprises at least one tuning element (6) positioned within the waveguide part (2), wherein each tuning element (6) comprises an electrically conducting body (7) and a holding rod (8a, 8b). The holding rod (8a, 8b) is attached to the electrically conducting body (7) and is movable from the outside of the waveguide resonator (1) such that the electrically conducting body (7) can be moved between a plurality of positions within the waveguide part (2) by means of the holding rod (8a, 8b).
