A high-frequency oscillator that can tune oscillation characteristics is
provided. A high-frequency oscillator includes a Gunn diode serving as a
high-frequency oscillation element that generates high-frequency signals,
a resonator connected to the Gunn diode, a varactor diode serving as a
variable-capacitance element that is disposed on the resonator and
changes a resonance frequency, and a bias supply circuit that is
connected to the varactor diode and supplies a bias voltage applied in
order to change a capacitance. The bias supply circuit includes a
trimmable chip resistor serving as a pre-set variable resistor that
regulates a bias voltage applied to the varactor diode. By regulating the
resistance value of the trimmable chip resistor, it is possible to
control the capacitance value of the varactor diode and tune oscillation
characteristics to a desired state.
