RF Circuit Design

RF Circuit Design is essential reading for professionals starting out in the field of RF circuit design and engineers needing a good reference. It takes a highly practical approach, giving just enough mathematical detail to explain design concepts but focusing on real-world applications and devices. It is packed with fully detailed examples of each principle, making it an excellent self-study guide. The fundamentals of RF circuit design are explained and demonstrated, and this third edition contains new material on high frequency (microwave) design, as well as being revised throughout with up-to-date real-world examples. NEW TO THIS EDITION: High frequency (microwave) design, test, measurement and procedures Expanded coverage of antennas Integrated circuits Microstrip and slot line design Differential ports Component modeling, diodes and mixers Printed elements and their design Latest transistor types MOSFET amplifiers Linearization techniques Noise calculations The timeless essentials of RF design - now updated with the latest devices and examples, making it even more relevant to today's design engineers New material on the increasingly important area of high frequency (microwave) RF design, Microstrip design and integrated circuits, plus expanded coverage of antennas Strong coverage of Smith charts - practical tools for RF design engineers to work out their designs, providing a quick visual entry without the need for detailed mathematical knowledge.
