Concepts
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.
This book is perfect for RF/microwave newcomers or industry veterans!
Furthermore, RF and microwave electronics can be learned from the foundation up, using a scientific framework for
RF and microwaves. The material is presented easily and effectively through worked practical examples using both
math and vivid illustrations, which helps the reader to gain practical knowledge in active and passive circuit
design.
There are many salient points, which will be amply treated such as:
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

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.
Applications include:
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
