Presents simulation techniques that substantially increase designers' control over the oscillationin autonomous circuits 
This book facilitates a sound understanding of the free-running oscillation mechanism, the start-up from the noise level, and the establishment of the steady-state oscillation. It deals with the operation principles and main characteristics of free-running and injection-locked oscillators, coupled oscillators, and parametric frequency dividers. Analysis and Design of Autonomous Microwave Circuits provides: <ul>
<li> An exploration of the main nonlinear-analysis methods, with emphasis on harmonic balance and envelope transient methods </li> <li> Techniques for the efficient simulation of the most common autonomous regimes </li> <li> A presentation and comparison of the main stability-analysis methods in the frequency domain </li> <li> A detailed examination of the instabilization mechanisms that delimit the operation bands of autonomous circuits </li> <li> Coverage of techniques used to eliminate common types of undesired behavior, such as spurious oscillations, hysteresis, and chaos </li> <li> A thorough presentation of the oscillator phase noise </li> <li> A comparison of the main methodologies of phase-noise analysis </li> <li> Techniques for autonomous circuit optimization, based on harmonic balance </li> <li> A consideration of different design objectives: presetting the oscillation frequency and output power, increasing efficiency, modifying the transient duration, and imposing operation bands </li> </ul>
Analysis and Design of Autonomous Microwave Circuits is a valuable resource for microwave designers, oscillator designers, and graduate students in RF microwave design.

If you are working with circuits based on solid state devices, diodes and transistors, designing radio-frequency circuits, or regularly involved in any area requiring a functional knowledge of nonlinear oscillations and stability concepts, this volume offers an in-depth look at the very complex and unforeseen behaviour of nonlinear circuits. There is detailed coverage of circuits used in power amplifiers, voltage-controlled oscillators, frequency dividers, frequency multipliers, self-oscillating mixers, and phase-locked loops.
