Stability Analysis of Nonlinear Microwave Circuits (Artech House Microwave Library)

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. This resource should give the reader greater insight into the design solutions that nonlinear circuits offer, presenting explanations and detection techniques for many "anomalous" phenomena often encountered in practice. It also aims to provide a better understanding of nonlinear oscillation theory and stability issues as you learn new techniques for the efficient steady-state simulation of these circuits.
