Abstract

Analysis results of coupling degree influence of the autodyne oscillator with an antenna are presented together with influence of the impedance characteristic type (soft or rigid) of the active element on the coefficients of autodyne amplification, autodyne frequency deviation and power transfer as well as on the noise parameters and characteristics. Analytical and numerical calculations of above-mentioned parameters and characteristics are performed, and results of experimental investigations of the 8mm-range Gunn diode autodyne are given.
