 Abstract:             
              Presents a comprehensive theory and design methodology for the design of LC CMOS oscillators used in every wireless transmission system. This book introduces the subject of phase noise and oscillators from the very first principles, and attempts to carry the reader to a very intuitive circuit-driven theory of phase noise in LC oscillators.
