Summary
Oscillator circuits are used for generating the periodic signals that are needed in various applications. These circuits convert a part of dc power into the periodic output and do not require a periodic signal as input. This chapter begins with the basic principle of sinusoidal oscillator circuits. Several transistor circuits are subsequently analyzed in order to establish their design procedures. Ceramic resonant circuits are frequently used to generate reference signals while the voltage-controlled oscillators are important in modern frequency synthesizer design using the phase-lock loop. Fundamentals of these circuits are discussed in this chapter. Diode-oscillators used at microwave frequencies are also summarized. The chapter ends with a description of the microwave transistor circuits using S-parameters.
