Abstract:Traveling wave (TW) sapphire whispering gallery resonator (WGR) is considered to be a very attractive device for low phase noise microwave frequency sources. However, it was found that TW WGR with distributed coupling is very sensible to the parameters of the coupling and excitation of the pure TW in high-Q WGR is a big challenge. This paper deals with a novel sapphire TW WGR based on orthogonal lumped couplings and 3-db quadrature directional couplers. A general theoretical background of the proposed TW WGR a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
