Oscillator Design and Computer Simulation / Edition 2

by Randall W. Rhea

Overview

This second edition of the number one guide to oscillator design presents a comprehensive, unified approach to oscillator design that can be used with a wide range of active devices and resonator types. Resonator types covered include: L-C, crystal, SAW, dielectric resonator, coaxial line, stripline and microstrip. This text covers modern CAD synthesis and analysis techniques and is valuable to experienced engineers as well as to those new to oscillator design. The books topics include: Analysis fundamentals, oscillator fundamentals, limiting and starting, biasing, noise, computer simulation and examples and case studies.

Editorial Reviews

Introduces the loop method and negative resistance method for designing L-C, transmission line, quartz crystal and SAW oscillators, and subsequent verification of the design via computer simulation. The second edition adds remarks relating open loop oscillator theory to classical terminology, expands resonator theory to ceramic loaded coaxial resonators, and includes Spice-based oscillator analysis.
