Abstract

The present invention discloses an electronically frequency tunable and phase modulatable quasi-optic grid oscillator. The oscillator includes a reference signal input port whereby a small external reference signal is introduced that entrains the frequency and phase of the oscillator signal to it. Amplitude modulation techniques are introduced to further enhance the utility of the oscillator as a modulator.
