The emphasizes is on integrated oscillators. It exploits so-called cyclostationary properties of noise to improve the spectral purity of the oscillator. This book applies, examines in great detail the behavior of both tuned and relaxation oscillators. Long-standing conundrums (such as "what is the optimum number of stages in a ring oscillator?") are resolved at last, and an important framework for answering questions as yet unasked is provided.<br /><br />Hajimiri and Lee's book is the most complete analysis of noise in oscillators their approach to noise modeling has rendered previous work obsolete. It clarifies a large number of highly debated issues about VCO noise and provides tangible design guidelines that can be used to optimize the noise performance of integrated VCOs. I enjoyed it a lot and highly recommend it to anyone tired of ad hoc analysis and empirical design of VCOs.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3147886096527982710-573775888398469710?l=oscillators-books-reviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>My Taxnoreply@blogger.com0
