Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a structure; an array of oscillator units having a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns associated with the structure, wherein oscillator units in a row within the array of oscillator units are directly coupled to each other; a plurality of waveguides in the structure; a synchronizing cavity located within the structure, wherein the plurality of waveguides is configured to couple the array of oscillator units to the synchronizing cavity and wherein the synchronizing cavity is configured to cause the array of oscillator units to operate at substantially a common frequency; a first plate, wherein the plurality of waveguides is located within the first plate; and a second plate substantially parallel to the first plate, the second plate comprised of a conductive material, wherein the synchronizing cavity is located between the first plate and the second plate.
