1. Edition June 2009
696 Pages, Hardcover
Practical Approach Book
Short Description
The first book to provide a comprehensive treatment of RF and microwave low noise and power amplifier circuits, Fundamentals of RF and Microwave Transistor Amplifiers integrates theory with practical topics. Detailed, real-world examples and over 120 problems reinforce topics such as analyses, design, modeling, materials, fabrication, and physical, electrical and thermal practical considerations with special coverage of amplifier circuits. Graduate students, university professors, scientists, practicing engineers, and designers in the areas of RF and microwave amplifiers will benefit from the book's emphasis on theory, design and practical aspects of amplifier design in day-to-day applications.
A Comprehensive and Up-to-Date Treatment of RF and Microwave Transistor Amplifiers
This book provides state-of-the-art coverage of RF and microwave transistor amplifiers, including low-noise, narrowband, broadband, linear, high-power, high-efficiency, and high-voltage. Topics covered include modeling, analysis, design, packaging, and thermal and fabrication considerations.
Through a unique integration of theory and practice, readers will learn to solve amplifier-related design problems ranging from matching networks to biasing and stability. More than 240 problems are included to help readers test their basic amplifier and circuit design skills-and more than half of the problems feature fully worked-out solutions.
With an emphasis on theory, design, and everyday applications, this book is geared toward students, teachers, scientists, and practicing engineers who are interested in broadening their knowledge of RF and microwave transistor amplifier circuit design.
