Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a microwave source. More specifically, it relates to a novel microwave source capable of substantially suppressing the amplitude of spurious signals. Background technique [0002] Microwave frequency sources with low phase noise and high stability are widely used in radar, communication measurement and other fields, and are the core components of modern electronic devices. [0003] There are generally three ways to obtain microwave sources: [0004] 1. Standard crystal oscillator frequency multiplication method; [0005] 2. Using the low loss of the medium, design a high-Q dielectric resonant cavity, construct a positive feedback amplifier circuit, and control the phase and amplitude to improve the stability of the output signal; such as ZL201510357893.X; "Ultra-low vibrationpulse- tube cryocooler stabilized cryogenic sapphire oscillator with 10-16fractional frequency stability",IEEE TRANS.ON MICROWAVE THEORY ANDTECHNIQUES,V...
