Abstract
This chapter discusses microwave transistor amplifiers and microwave transistor oscillators. In the beginning, the chapter references some amplifier performance parameters that have to be considered while designing an amplifier for a particular application. The chapter also offers a classification on microwave transistor amplifiers. Amplifiers are essentially classified by their dynamic range and frequency coverage that divides them into low-noise and power amplifiers. Each of those amplifier subgroups can be classified by bandwidths, namely moderate, classical octave band, multioctave, and ultra-wide-band designs. The chapter also presents an overview on amplifier design. Amplifier design starts with the selection of the proper transistor for the intended application. The chapter indicates key performance parameters of microwave transistor oscillators. In order to facilitate a general discussion on oscillator performance, the chapter classifies oscillators by frequency control. This can be further subdivided into free-running oscillators and externally or internally controlled oscillators.
