A dielectric resonator is a non-conductive material, generally ceramic, specifically designed to resonate at radio frequencies including the millimeter wave bands. The manufacturing of the oscillator takes place by means of a high dielectric material that combines an electromagnet to resonate. The specific frequency of the resonator is selected by tuning the dielectric disc.
Approved Application of Dielectric Resonators
The Dielectric Resonator Oscillators (DRO) find widespread application in missile, electronic warfare, radar, military and commercial applications as well as in diverse satellite and Point to Point Terrestrial telecommunication systems> By employing suitable models of resonators Raditek makes DRO’s from 3 to 41GHz. Moreover, the dielectric resonators can be integrated as primary elements in sub-wavelength sensors, quantum dot emitters as well as in flat optical components. Impact of Resonant Nano Structures
The Resonant nano structures have been in the buzz over the last decade owing to its light controlling capacity, which is done either through enhancement of the electric field or by means of scattered radiations. The resonators also have huge positive impact on the miscellaneous applications, which includes sensing, biomedical spectroscopy, communications as well as in photovoltaic power generation.
Phase Locked Dielectric Resonators Oscillators (PLDRO or more normally PLO).
Dielectric Resonators Oscillators can be phase locked to give precise Frequency stability either to a TCXO with 1 part per million (1ppm) stability or to an OCXO with 10 part per billion (10ppb) stability and exceptionally to a GPS Receiver 11 part per billion (11ppb. Raditek also makes PLO’s from 3 to 41GHz.
Using Phase Locked Oscillators(PLO) can be very useful for the military as well as for commercial applications in various fields. These devices use their superior stability technology for transmitting the radio waves at specific designated frequencies to avoid Interference.
