Synopses & Reviews
In today's globally competitive wireless industry, the design-to-production cycle is critically important. Circuit and system engineers must be able to develop robust designs that can be mass produced. To accomplish this, engineers need to learn the requirements of, and solutions leading to, optimum performance. The first of a two-volume set, this leading-edge book takes a practical approach to RF (radio frequency) circuit design, offering a complete understanding of the fundamental concepts practitioners need to know and use for their work in this industry. This hands-on resource book lays the ground work for efficient passive circuit design. Introduction to RF Circuit Design. The Radio as a Typical RF System. RF Circuit Fundamentals. CAD of Linear RF/MW Circuits. Scattering Parameters and the Smith Chart. Passive Component Modeling. Impedance Matching. Lumped and Distributed Filters. High-Speed Circuit Design Considerations.
