We report on a linearized technique for the determination of embedding
networks that maximize the added power in a two-port oscillator desig
n. The embedding networks are similar to the optimum networks presente
d by Kotzebue [1], but they are determined without the assumption of a
constant voltage at the input port of the active device. The method p
resented here will result in a more accurate determination of the embe
dding networks for maximum power output from a device with a given set
of two-port parameters.
