RF and Microwave Transistor Oscillator Design

"A valuable reference for practising RF and microwave designers and engineers, this book is also useful for lecturers, advanced students and R&D personnel."--BOOK JACKET.

Andrei Grebennikov is a senior member if IEEE. His scientific and engineering activity includes the design and development of RF and microwave power amplifiers for different powers and bandwidths, single-frequency and voltage-controlled oscillators, modulators, mixers and multipliers using any types of bipolar and field-effect transistors. In addition to this, Andrei has experience reading lectures and classes in microwave & RF engineering as well as training and technical presentations for RF design engineers.
