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. 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

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