Abstract
Deep Space Network for ten years. The requirements for the maser pump source are presently met by reflex klystron oscillators, although other microwave energy sources have been tested and evaluated on the basis of cost, reliability, output power, tunability, frequency stability, and power stability. Gunn-effect diode oscillators have recently reached a stage of development that makes them superior to the reflex klystron oscillator. This article describes a Gunn-effect oscillator that has been tested, packaged, and evaluated in the laboratory and is now ready for installation in the Deep Space Network.
