ADVANCED RF & MICROWAVE CIRCUIT DESIGN

 The Ultimate Guide to Superior Design

by

Matthew M. Radmanesh, Ph.D.

RF and Microwaves is currently in the forefront as a fundamental technology in numerous industrial and commercial applications.

As applications of RF and microwaves continue to evolve and as this technology becomes a common factor in the scientific and engineering communities it is imperative that university students and practicing scientists and engineers become thoroughly familiar with the measurement principles, electronics, and design fundamentals under-lying this technology.

Advanced RF & Microwave Circuit Design is the quickest way to master this powerful subject, and information contained within the pages of this book will make every key electronic, measurement, and design principle you need a simple task.

The book introduces concepts on a wide range of materials and has several advantages over existing texts, including:

1. The presentation of a series of scientific postulates and axioms, which lays the foundation for any of the engineering sciences and is unique to this book compared with similar RF and Microwave texts.

2. The presentation of classical laws and principles of electricity and magnetism, all inter-related, conceptually and graphically.

3. There is a shift of emphasis from rigorous mathematical solutions of Maxwell's equations, and instead has been aptly placed on simple yet fundamental concepts that underlie these equations. This shift of emphasis will promote a deeper understanding of the electronics, particularly at RF/Microwave frequencies.

4. Fundamentals of electronics have been amply treated, which makes an easy transition to RF/Microwave principles and prevents a gap of knowledge in the reader's mind.

5. New technical terms are precisely defined as they are first introduced, thereby keeping the subject matter in focus and preventing misunderstanding, and finally the abundant use of graphical illustrations and diagrams brings a great deal of clarity and conceptual understanding, enabling difficult concepts to be understood with ease.

The fundamentals of RF and microwave electronics can be mastered visually, through many tested practical examples.

• RF/microwave Transistor amplifier design 
• Power amplifier design 
• Oscillator design 
• Mixer design 
• Switching circuit design 
• PIN diode control circuit design 
• Wave propagation 
• Transmission line circuits 
• Smith Chart analytical techniques 
• Noise figure measurement 
• Noise temperature measurement 

If you aspire to a deeper understanding of this vital subject or need a refresher on the latest techniques, this book could answer that need in a resounding way.

Whether you're seeking to strengthen your skills or enter the field for the first time, Advanced RF & Microwave Circuit Design is the fastest way to master every key measurement, electronic, and design principle you need to be effective.

Dr. Matthew Radmanesh uses easy mathematics and a highly graphical approach with scores of examples to bring about a total comprehension of the subject. You will have a clear introduction and mastery of the basics.

Along the way, Dr. Radmanesh clearly introduces everything you need to know!

• wave propagation 
• impedance matching in transmission line circuits 
• microwave linear amplifiers 
• hard-core nonlinear active circuit design in Microwave Integrated Circuits (MICs). 

The book also includes

• A scientific framework for learning RF and microwaves easily and effectively 
• Fundamental RF and microwave concepts and their applications 
• The characterization of two-port networks at RF and microwaves using S-parameters 
• Use of the Smith Chart to simplify analysis of complex design problems Key design considerations for microwave amplifiers: stability, gain, and noise 

You'll learn workable considerations in the design of practical active circuits:

• amplifiers 
• oscillators 
• frequency converters 
• control circuits 
• RF and Microwave Integrated Circuits (MICs) 
• Novel use of "live math" in circuit analysis and design 

Dr. Radmanesh has drawn upon his many years of practical experience in the microwave industry and educational arena to introduce an exceptionally wide range of practical concepts and design methodology and techniques in the most comprehensible fashion.

• Small-signal, narrow-band, low noise, broadband and multistage transistor amplifiers 
• Large signal/high power amplifiers 
• Microwave transistor oscillators 
• Negative-resistance circuits 
• Microwave mixers, rectifiers and detectors 
• Switches 
• Phase shifters 
• Attenuators 

The book is intended to provide a workable knowledge and intuitive understanding of RF and microwave electronic circuit design.

Advanced RF & Microwave Circuit includes a comprehensive glossary, plus appendices covering key symbols, physical constants, mathematical identities/formulas, classical laws of electricity and magnetism, Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) examples and more.
