Abstract

Disclosed is a circuit for power combining electromagnetic energy in the millimicrowave frequency band where the electromagnetic energy is produced by two substantially identical varactor tuned microstrip oscillators where the power combining circuit has less than perfect isolation properties allowing a fraction of the output of one to be fed back to the other so that the two become locked in frequency.
