INTRODUCTION
In the most general sense, an oscillator is a nonlinear circuit that converts DC power to an AC waveform without requiring a input signal.
They are used to: Stabilize time-frequency generators, which in
turn provide carrier and pilot signals for electronic communication and navigation systems.
Provide the clock signals used by data processing equipment.
As a reference signal for other special-purpose systems.

CONTROL THEORY APPROACH
Block Diagram of a feedback model Oscillator
This approach is a good starting point for it enables us to better understand and design two-component oscillators. It helps in deriving conditions for oscillation.

CONTROL THEORY APPROACH
The closed-loop gain:
For oscillation to occur,
Þ Barkhausen Criteria (startup condition)Þ When the criteria is met, the poles are
located on the imaginary axis. This is a necessary but not sufficient condition.

TWO-PORT OSCILLATOR DESIGN
Design Steps1. Check if the transitor is potentially
unstable (K < 1)Remark: i. if the device is not potentially unstable:
Use feedback element like an inductor to make the device unstable.
Change the configuration to common-gate or common-base.
ii. Shunt/Series feedback will increase , increasing instability.

OPTIMUM OSCILLATOR DESIGN
Since oscillators tend to work at maximum power, small-signal parameters will no longer be accurate for a precise design. Therfore,the use of large-signal parameters is essential.

SUMMARY
In this talk, we were exposed to microwave oscillators, their use, a general idea about their inner workings.
Also, we discussed two-port network design. The conditions for the circuit to oscillate and the steps to design such a circuit.
We finished with optimum design of oscillators where large-signal parameters are employed rather than small-signal parameters to insure maximum power and accuracy.
