In this paper we present the results of the development, fabrication, measurements, and analysis of terahertz-range oscillators based on Josephson junction arrays embedded into the central electrode of a coplanar line. The influence of array geometry, the presence of a matched load at the nonradiating edge, and the magnitude of the tunneling current density of Josephson junctions on such oscillator characteristics as radiation power, linewidth, and operating range are discussed. Various options are suggested for further improvement of the oscillator performance.
