Textbook for RF Design

[micro7311]

Hi, can anyone recommend a good textbook for designing RF transmitter/receiver circuits? I have the following textbooks which are great for general analog design, but I am looking for the design of BJT oscillators and circuits specifically for RF communication:

Baker, CMOS Circuit Design, Layout and Simulation.
Bowick, RF Circuit Design (this book is great but does not seem to go into oscillators and specific RF circuits)

I see many examples on the internet but they lack any technical explanation for design.

there are some pretty good books by randy rhea on oscillator/amplifier design at a discreet level

Hi,
This was our textbook in university :
Microwave Transistor Amplifiers: Analysis and Design by Guillermo Gonzalez (2nd Edition)

it's a very good book with detailed examples.

and this is another one :

Microwave Circuit Design Using Linear and Nonlinear Techniques , by George D. Vendelin ,Anthony M. Pavio, Ulrich L. Rohde

 

[PlanarMetamaterials]

"Microwave and RF Design" by Steer is good for the basics.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll take a look at some of them.
