Evaluating Feedback in Amplifiers and Oscillators: Theory, Design and Analogue Applications (Electronic & Electrical Engineering Research Studies. ... Techniques, and Applications Series, 4.)

In this comprehensive handbook, Maclean (emeritus, Standard Telecommunications Laboratories, Harlow, UK) examines the theory, design, and application of feedback in electronic amplifier and oscillator circuits at frequencies from DC to 300 GHz. Macleans' topics include an introductory analysis, inventing the negative feedback amplifier, conducting measurement, characterization and linear modeling, predicting and computing feedback stability, using methods and examples of assessment, and working at higher frequencies. He includes a special section describing custom notation and "novel concepts" chapter by chapter, and industry-based examples of his original contributions. Maclean's reference list is extensive and includes many very recent papers. Distributed by AIDC. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
