Title: Oscillator Circuits & Projects
Review: This is a basic 'seat of the pants' design manual. Useful for building up a demonstration circuit, or as an overview of the topic, but not 'meaty' enough for those who wish to gain something greater than a rudimentary understanding of oscillator theory.For those who want to design a simple op-amp oscillator, this book is fine. The RF oscillator descriptions are at best, anemic.Kamichik has done a wonderful thing with the book however, by providing problems to work (at the end of each chapter) AND SOLUTIONS TO EACH OF THE PROBLEMS at the end of the book. These problem sets (along with the solutions) are enormously helpful to the uninitiated.While I would not recommend Kamichik's work as a great reference for high-performance oscillator design, I would recommend the book for those who are completely unfamiliar with the topic, and wish to learn how oscillators work.
Is the review positive or negative?
