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.
