Designers of microwave integrated circuits
Electrical Engineering researchers-helps with finding information on advanced designs
EE graduate students
· Includes software tools for design and microwave circuits
· Emphasizes commercial applications for telecommunications
· Updated and revised to include the latest developments in the field.
· Covers all aspects of transistors, from their intrinsic and circuit properties to circuit design techniques for maximizing their performance in communication and radar systems.
This book systematically presents computer-aided methods for linear and nonlinear designs used in the design and manufacture of microwave amplifiers, oscillators and mixers. Microwave circuit design is particularly important in modern telecommunications for the design of cellular wireless devices.
This is the second edition of a successful book on microwave circuit design. The book covers all aspects of transistors, from their intrinsic and circuit properties to circuit design techniques for maximizing their performance in communication and radar systems. All original chapters are updated and revised to account for modern technology. This book covers all levels of microwave circuit design, presenting computer aided methods for linear and nonlinear designs used in the production of microwave amplifiers, oscillators, and mixers. The authors provide all of the mathematics and practical design information necessary to carry out the design of hybrid and monolithic integrated circuits.
