RF Circuit Design : Theory and Applications

0.0

The field of high-frequency circuit design is receiving significant industrial attention dueto a host of radio-frequency (RF) and microwave (MW) applications. Improved semiconductor devices have made possible a proliferation of high-speed digital and analog systems as observed in wireless communication, global positioning, RADAR, and related electrical and computer engineering disciplines. This interest has translated into a strong demand for engineers with comprehensive knowledge of high-frequency circuit design principles.The objective of this textbook is to develop the RF circuit design aspects in such a way that the need for transmission line principles is made clear without adopting an electromagnetic field approach. Therefore, no EM background is necessary beyond a first year undergraduate physics course in fields and waves as provided by most colleges and universities. Students equipped with the knowledge of basic circuit theory and/or an exposure to microelectronics can use this book and cover the entire spectrum from the basic principles of transmission and microstrip lines to the various high-frequency circuit design procedures. Lengthy mathematical derivations are either relegated to the appendices or placed in examples, separated from the main text. This allows the omission of some of the dry theoretical details and thus focuses on the main concepts.For Sale in Indian subcontinent onlyContentsIntroduction Transmission Line AnalysisThe Smith ChartSingle- and Multiport NetworksAn Overview of RF Filter DesignActive RF ComponentsActive RF Component ModelingMatching and Biasing NetworksRF Transistor Amplifier Designs Oscillators and Mixers
