Abstract

Results of a noise loading test for an IMPATT oscillator which is phase-locked to an external FM driving signal [1] are discussed. Amplification (the ratio of power output of the oscillator to power input of the driving signal) of about 15 dB could be obtained for 960 telephone message channels.
