The Design of Modern Microwave Oscillators for Wireless Applications [PDF ebook] 
Theory and Optimization

Delivering the best possible solution for phase noise and output
power efficiency in oscillators

This complete and thorough analysis of microwave oscillators
investigates all aspects of design, with particular emphasis on
operating conditions, choice of resonators and transistors, phase
noise, and output power. It covers both bipolar transistors and
FETs. Following the authors’ guidance, readers learn how to design
microwave oscillators and VCOs that can be tuned over a very wide
frequency range, yet have good phase noise, are low cost, and are
small in size. All the essential topics in oscillator design and
development are covered, including:

* Device and resonator technology

* Study of noise sources

* Analysis methods

* Design, calculation, and optimization methodologies

* Practical design of single and coupled oscillators

While most of the current literature in the field concentrates on
classic design strategies based on measurements, simulation, and
optimization of output power and phase noise, this text offers a
unique approach that focuses on the complete understanding of the
design process. The material demonstrates important design rules
starting with the selection of best oscillator topology, choice of
transistors, and complete phase noise analysis that leads to
optimum performance of all relevant oscillator features. Also
included are CMOS oscillators, which recently have become important
in cellular applications. For readers interested in specialized
applications and topics, a full chapter provides all the necessary
references.

The contents of the text fall into two major categories:

* Chapters 1 through 9 deal with a very detailed and expanded
single resonator oscillator, including a thorough treatment of both
nonlinear analysis and phase noise

* Chapters 10 and 11 use the knowledge obtained and apply it to
multiple coupled oscillators (synchronized oscillators)

This text is partially based on research sponsored by the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the United States
Army and conducted by Synergy Microwave Corporation. With the
wealth of information provided for the analysis and practical
design of single and synchronized low-noise microwave oscillators,
it is recommended reading for all RF microwave engineers. In
addition, the text’s comprehensive, step-by-step approach makes it
an excellent graduate-level textbook.
