Editorial Reviews

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
