Summary

• Here is an essential engineering tool for keeping up with the rapid growth in communications technology. You'll find a clear, step-by-step approach to the design of oscillators for a variety of applications, including wireless voice and data communication, instrument, consumer, satellite, and other RF and microwave systems.
• The new edition of this surefire guide features complete details on the design of L-C, transmission line, crystal quartz, and SAW oscillators; cutting-edge computer simulation materials; CAD techniques integrated into processes from start to finish; and an approach that can be applied to any active device and any resonator technology.
• Filled with real-life examples and case studies, the Second Edition of this vital resource offers you the basic skills needed to develop your own state-of-the-art designs - instead of merely modifying previous circuits.
