Abstract

The paper presents an overview of methods for designing frequency-stabilized sources of the millimeter range of wavelengths based on diode self-oscillators with stabilizing resonators operating at the fundamental frequency and at a higher mode. The relationships of frequency likelihood are deduced, making it possible to estimate the attainable characteristics of frequency stability in a range of frequencies, and to compare them with those already known in the literature.
