Abstract
In order to achieve a hierarchical design methodology, a classification of oscillators is of utmost importance. In a good classification, we should be able to give the properties of an oscillator once we know its place in the classification. Vice versa, starting at the top of the classification, we should be able to make strategic design decisions, being aware of both the possibilities and the impossibilities of the circuits at lower levels of the hierarchy. In this chapter, a classification of oscillators is presented, that is the completion to partial classifications, made earlier by Boon [1], Doorenbosch [2] and Verhoeven [8].
