Abstract

A microwave oscillator includes a waveguide that is short-circuited on one side and a diode arranged therein, which receives its supply voltage by way of a coupling pin passed through a waveguide wall. At least one adjustment pin, extends into the waveguide and is adjustable in its penetration depth, for tuning the oscillator frequency. Because the adjustment pin is aligned at an acute angle to the coupling pin, the oscillator frequency can be tuned very precisely.
