This book introduces an intuitive, self-sustained oscillator model and applies it to describe some of the most critical performance metrics of LC oscillators, such as phase noise, entrainment, and pulling. It also covers the related topics of magnetic coupling and inductor design. The author emphasizes the basic principles and illuminates them with approximate calculations, adopting a design-oriented approach that imparts intuition and complements simulations. This book constitutes a novel and fresh perspective on the subject and can be helpful to electrical engineering students and...
