The authors describe the fundamental characteristics of compact stepped impedance hairpin resonators with parallel coupled lines, and show their application to voltage-controlled push-push oscillators for UHF band operation. The experimental push-push oscillators built using these resonators provide low phase noise and wide tuning operation.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
