Microwave and RF Design, Volume 5

Presents the design of amplifiers and oscillators in a way that enables state-of-the-art designs to be realized. Detailed strategies and case studies are presented. The emphasis is on developing design skills. This book is suitable as both an undergraduate and graduate textbook, as well as a career-long reference book. Microwave and RF Design: Amplifiers and Oscillators presents the design of amplifiers and oscillators in a way that enables state-of-the-art designs to be realized. Detailed strategies and case studies are presented. Design of competitive microwave amplifiers and oscillators is particularly challenging as many trade-offs are required in design, and the design decisions cannot be reduced to a formulaic flow. The emphasis is on developing design skills. This book is suitable as both an undergraduate and graduate textbook, as well as a career-long reference book. Key Features: The fifth volume of a comprehensive series on microwave and RF design; Open access ebook editions are hosted by NC State University Libraries; 9 worked examples; An average of 23 exercises per chapter; Answers to selected exercises; 6 extensive case studies following the design of competitive amplifiers and oscillators with world leading performance; Volume 5 of a five volume series on microwave and RF design, all available as open access ebooks; A companion book, Fundamentals of Microwave and RF Design, is suitable as a comprehensive undergraduate textbook on microwave engineering.
