RF amplifier oscillation can turn a well-designed power amplifier into an unstable, spur-generating headache. This article shows the most common causes of instability, how to identify oscillation on the bench, and practical techniques
The Leo Bodnar LBE-1420 and LBE-1421 GPSDOs are easy to use, but a few of their settings make a real difference to the quality of your frequency reference. Here’s what each one does
