Highly Cited Papers

As a service for MTT Society members and the larger research community, we have compiled a list of  highly-cited papers in Signal Generation (oscillators) and Frequency Conversion (mixers and multipliers).  We have subdivided these two broad areas into sub-topics and the three most cited papers in each topic have been included in the list.

Highly cited papers in SIGNAL GENERATION

Highly cited papers in FREQUENCY CONVERSION  (mixers and multipliers)


Methodology -  The above pages were generated using the ISI Citation Index (Web of Knowledge) from Thomson Reuters Corp., which indexes peer-reviewed journal papers. Conference papers are not included in this list.  While other indexing databases are available such as Google Scholar, which indexes a broader array of primary sources including theses, abstracts, and preprint repositories, some of these sources may not be peer-reviewed.  Thereore we have chosen to use the ISI Citation Index for consistency purposes.

Disclaimer - The TCC-22 makes no specific judgement on the accuracy of the ordering of the papers in these pages.   In an effort to be objective,  the papers were ordered based on the absolute number of citations each paper has received to date (Spring 2009). Note, however, that an older paper in a specific topic can have more citations than a newer paper by virtue of having been published first although the newer paper may have significantly advanced the state-of-the-art relative to the older paper.  Therefore, users of these pages must exercise their own judgement in interpreting which paper is most novel or is the most relevant to their own work.
