OK but not great
It's a fairly readable book, but there are quite a few errors.

The book is strongly based on the open-the-loop method to find loaded Q, but this method is heavily flawed due to the impedances where the loop is broken being not known.


Rating: 4 out of 5
OK
Many example circuits, resonator topologies and other useful information.

A valuable and very practical book by a leading RF designer.
This is an excellent book which introduces all the concepts in an easily understood form and which has proven very valuable in day to day design of RF oscillators. If you need to begin designing oscillators then you should seriously consider adding this to your collection.

If you want to deal with some of the more advanced topics then consider getting a copy of Microwave and Wireless RF synthesizer theory and design by Ulrich Rohde which has excellent chapters on oscillator design.

Now if we could just persuade Ulrich and Randy to write a book together.........
