Hi, maybe this topic is a bit boundary for this list, but i´ll just ask for general directions I´ve discovered these wonderfull bits of hardware called YIG (Yttrium iron garnet) Oscillators (and filters!) in Ebay. If someone doesn´t know what i´m talking about, they are very broadband

Most modern books on micriowave design (and probably Wiki) have the basics. They are based on the NMR principle (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance). This is the same physics used in MRI. You might also look at old issues of the HP Journal or the Watkins-Johnson house journal. The former is easily

They are neat toys, aren't they? :-) I discovered them a couple of years ago. Since then I've collected a few from ebay to play with. They're oddball units with no documentation, but they weren't too hard to decipher. I even cobbled together a phase-lock system for one. It worked, but it
