Please read this instruction sheet carefully before putting the unit into operation!
Prescribed use
The Gunn oscillator is used to generate microwave power for experiment purposes in voca-
tional training and education.
1. Safety instructions
•
Avoid looking directly into the end of the radiating waveguide.
•
Any eventual disassembly of the oscillator during experimentation into its 4 main com-
ponents is performed using the quick connectors and the thumb screws. Any further di-
sassembly of the componets may not be carried out.
•
During operation make sure that all of the components of the Gunn oscillator are securely
fastened, i.e. tighten the thumb screws securely.
•
The DC power supply of the Gunn oscillator may only be supplied using the LD power
supply equipment. This rules out any accidental interchanging of the polarity. Any excess
voltage – even in the form of a "brief voltage surge" – leads to irreparable damage to the
Gunn diode.
