Here is oscillator scheme:
Varactor is removed. It works well at 5GHz.
I expected 10GHz oscillation when cut gate stub to half-length. I did it, but oscillation does not occur anymore.
Now if i put DRO from old LNA somewhere around transistor, 10GHz appears to be working, even if i put resonator in "wrong" places, somehow it produces good feedback.
Then I changed transistor to a better one (i have some stupid guess about transistor gain vs frequency, so i put one with typical F=15GHz), but stub or something still does not resonate. To be sure i restored stub to original length and get some around 5GHz with the new transistor.
I had a little access to spectrometer, so did not experiment more.
So why half-length stub did not give me double frequency, but DRO always does? What kind of problem is it?
