We recently proposed a multiphase oscillator utilizing a periodic pulse train generated and propagated in a closed one-dimensional lattice of resonant-tunneling diode (RTD) oscillators, each of which establishes the neighbor-to-neighbor coupling through lossy inductors. In this work, we develop the design criteria for the bias dependence of oscillation frequency through the bifurcation analysis based on the quasi-continuous model of the lattice. We then model the lattice in the full-wave scheme using the finite-difference time-domain method and validate the multiphase oscillation in submillimeter-wave frequencies. Finally, several experimental observations conducted in MHz frequencies using tunnel diodes in place of RTDs are presented to validate several synchronization properties of the pulse train in the lattice including the direction-specified transmission of pulse train and its application to the multiphase oscillator.
