The increase of consumer electronics and communicationsapplications using Radio Frequency (RF) and microwave circuits hasimplications for oscillator design. Applications working at higherfrequencies and using novel technologies have led to a demand formore robust circuits with higher performance and functionality, butdecreased costs, size and power consumption. As a result, there isalso a need for more efficient oscillators.
This book presents up to date information on all aspects ofoscillator design, enabling a selection of the best oscillatortopologies with optimized noise reduction and electricalperformance. RF and Microwave Transistor Oscillator Designcovers:
* analyses of non-linear circuit design methods includingspectral-domain analysis, time-domain analysis and the quasilinearmethod;
* information on noise in oscillators including chapters onvaractor and oscillator frequency tuning, CMOS voltage-controlledoscillators and wideband voltage-controlled oscillators;
* information on the stability of oscillations, with discussionson the stability of multi-resonant circuits and the phase planemethod;
* optimized design and circuit techniques, beginning with theempirical and analytic design approaches, moving on to thehigh-efficiency design technique;
* general operation and design principles of oscillators,including a section on the historical aspects of oscillatorconfigurations.
A valuable reference for practising RF and Microwave designersand engineers, RF and Microwave Transistor Oscillator Designis also useful for lecturers, advanced students and research anddesign (R&D) personnel.
