Design using the full Kurokawa condition is found to be too limiting at microwave frequencies. There are other considerations such as minimizing phase noise, e.g. we want the frequency of oscillation to be independent of the oscillation amplitude (this minimizes phase noise). minimizing DC power consumption. conditions for oscillator start-up. 18

Microwave VCO design strategy: choose a topology that Has an effective device susceptance that is independent of signal amplitude (i.e., B d / V = 0). Has a loaded resonator conductance that is independent of frequency (i.e., G r / ω = 0). Kurokawa condition for simplified design: G V d B r V V,
