RF and microwave oscillator design

This groundbreaking book is the first to present the state of the art in nonlinear microwave oscillator design. A compilation of pioneering work from leading experts in the field, including Kaneyuki Kurokawa, Juan Obregon, Vittorio Rizzoli, the book also provides rigorous theory and historical background. Invaluable for professionals at all levels of design expertise, this volume helps you to bridge the gap between design practice and new powerful design methods, learn all aspects of modern oscillator design and review practical designs and experimental results of fixed-frequency, high-Q, low-noise oscillators. Key discussions include: progress in measurements and mathematical analysis, the most advanced design methods of microwave design low noise VCO and MMIC oscillators, and modern simulation methods and software tools. This practical resource is supplemented with more than 200 equations and 100 illustrations.

This work describes the state of the art in nonlinear microwave oscillator design and provides theory and historical background in language accessible to the hands-on engineer. It reviews design practice and new design methods, and reports on practical designs and experimental results, covering advanced design methods that apply to low noise VCO and MMIC oscillators and discussing modern simulation methods and progress in measurements and mathematical analysis. Early chapters provide tutorials on oscillator design and two final chapters present advanced methods in real-life design, including device modeling and circuit-simulation methods. The book can be used as a reference for practicing designers and as a text for senior-level students. Odyniec is an engineer in the private sector. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
