Abstract
A tuned oscillator utilizing a thin film ferromagnetic resonator is disclosed. The oscillator comprises an active element for oscillator and a YIG thin film resonator connected to the active element as a part of feed-back circuit for the active element. The YIG thin film resonator is applied with a bias magnetic field perpendicular to a surfce of a YIG disk which is generated by a permanent magnet for a fixed component and a coil for a variable component for the resonance frequency. The resonance frequency is stabilized by use of a PLL circuit connected to an output of the oscillator and feeding back to the coil. Since the YIG thin film tuned oscillator has a high Q value, high quality communication signal processing can be achieved. The YIG tuned oscillator is used as local oscillator for a transciever.
