Design of Transistor Oscillators for Radio Receivers

ABSTRACT

A basis for the design of the transistor oscillator for radio receivers, using the transistor equivalent circuit parameters and the oscillator circuit components, is presented. The salient characteristics of the operation of such oscillators have been derived and the limitations under which these derivations are valid have been clearly stated. The analysis of transistor oscillator is purposefully not made more exhaustive in view of their end use in receivers.
