5.0 out of 5 stars
An outstanding modern introduction to oscillator design.,
By Farron Dacus, fdacus@clevemed.com (Irving, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oscillator Design & Computer Simulation (Hardcover)
The book is probably the best available on general discrete oscillator design from low frequency up through several GHz. Excellent coverage of fundamental principles supplemented with many highly practical examples, complete with CAD files and outputs using the excellent "SuperStar" PC based s parameter package also developed by the author (available from his company, Eagleware). The new 2nd edition provides key basic facts not found in any other source, for example that the phase angle of the reflection coefficient for negative resistance oscillators is 0 or 180 depending solely on the source of reference impedance. Randy is obviously a very experienced RF circuit designer who has been around the block many times and is devoted to getting the fundamentals right. Users of his software will also find that he is usually available by phone and happy to provide a few "tips from the master". A really outstanding piece of work for use by serious RF design students and practicing designers. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a 3rd edition that extends coverage to fully integrated voltage controlled oscillators. Farron Dacus, Irving, Texas.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good book with lots of errors,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oscillator Design and Computer Simulation (Hardcover)
This book was valuable for oscillator design. It contained a lot of information that I was unable to find from other sources; however, the book contains several confusing typos and errors.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Bible of oscillator design,
By John Blanchard (RTP, N.C.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oscillator Design and Computer Simulation (Hardcover)
The only book I use for discrete wireless oscillator design. It covers RF VCO's and crystal oscillators with clarity and ease not normally found in electronic design books of this -- or any -- kind. Even though the book's full usefulness comes through when you own Eagleware's software design suite, this book also works perfectly as a completely stand-alone oscillator design text; full of useful formulas and invaluable design tips.
