Dynamic characteristics of frequency-locked autodynes

Abstract

The results of research into the dynamic characteristics of microwave oscillators under the influence of both their own reflected radiation and external synchronising effect are presented. The basic relations for the analysis of signals during fast movement of the target are obtained, when the signal period is comparable to the autodyne response time constants. The results of numerical modelling of the characteristics are confirmed by the experimental data obtained on the example of an oscillator based on the Gunn diode of the 8-mm range.
