ABSTRACT:
A microwave oscillator with loop frequency conversion to and signal amplification at an intermediate frequency. A high-Q sapphire dielectric resonator is coupled in a frequency conversion loop between a pair of balanced mixers. One mixer comprises a downconversion mixer from an output frequency F.sub.0 to an intermediate frequency F.sub.IF, while the other mixer comprises an upconversion mixer from the intermediate frequency F.sub.IF to the output frequency F.sub.0. The frequency conversion loop additionally includes a low 1/f noise IF amplifier coupled between the mixers. The two mixers receive a local oscillator signal having a frequency F.sub.0 .+-.F.sub.IF from a microwave reference signal generator. In such an arrangement, an output frequency section and an intermediate frequency section is provided. The output frequency section includes the sapphire dielectric resonator and an output power divider while the intermediate frequency section includes the two mixers and the IF amplifier.
