Chapter 10. Microwave Oscillators

10.1 Introduction

An oscillator is a circuit that generates a high-frequency sinusoidal waveform by converting DC energy delivered from a DC supply. Figure 10.1 shows the formation of an oscillation waveform in the oscillator, which can be divided into two phases: transient and equilibrium states. The amplitude of the sinusoidal waveform with a specific frequency component grows exponentially in the transient state. Then, after passing through the transient state, the waveform reaches ...
