[linrad] Oscillator Design

[w3sz <w3sz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, All,

A Belated Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

There is a new book out on oscillator design that I thought some on this  
list might find very interesting AND useful, given its subject matter and  
authors.

The book is:

The Design of Modern Microwave OScillators for Wireless Applications:   
Theory and Optimization

by U.L. Rohde, A.K. Poddar, and G. Bock.

It is published by Wiley-Interscience.

You can get it new from Amazon Marketplace for about 75 USD including  
shipping within the USA.

Here is a review from Microwave Journal:

of the text:

Many technical and scientific works have been published with respect to  
oscillator development, without comprehensive work covering all the  
important aspects of oscillator development ranging from fundamentals,  
device technology, supply noise, analysis methods, design and optimization  
methodologies for practical design of various types of oscillators. Most  
articles concentrate on classic design strategies based on measurements,  
simulation and optimization of output power and phase noise, and not on a  
systematic composition of the whole design procedure, leading to optimum  
performance of all relevant oscillator features. The purpose of this book,  
which is based on practical and theoretical research and decades of work,  
is to fill this gap. Chapter 1 summarizes the historical evolution of  
harmonic oscillators and analysis methods. Chapters 2 to 5 deal with the  
most important building blocks. Following a discussion of the basic theory  
on semiconductor devices and large-signal parameters, the most modern  
devices are chosen as examples. A whole chapter is devoted to the various  
types of resonators, an important subject for microwave applications.  
Chapter 6 concentrates on the fundamentals of oscillator design, starting  
with the derivation of the oscillating condition under the assumption of a  
simplified linear network. Next, the nonlinear case is analyzed. Chapter 7  
addresses the fundamentals of oscillator noise. Derivation and application  
of the extended Leeson formula is shown extensively. A tutorial treatise  
on phase noise measurements closes the chapter. Chapter 8 concentrates on  
analysis and optimization of phase noise in oscillators. Chapter 9 gives  
five design examples for practical oscillators and for extensive  
validation of the circuit synthesis described. Chapter 10 addresses the  
topic of coupled oscillators. It is shown that the design of ultra-low  
phase noise voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO) with a wide tuning range  
is possible using this concept. In Chapter 11, a variety of validation  
circuits for wide band coupled resonator VCOs are given.
