Summary:

" Microwave Active Circuit Analysis and Design" teaches the skills and knowledge required by today s RF and microwave engineer in a concise, structured, and systematic way. The book reflects modern developments in the field, and focuses on active circuit design covering the latest devices and design techniques, from electromagnetic and transmission line theory and S-parameters through to amplifier and oscillator design, techniques for low noise and broadband design. This book focuses on analysis and design, including up-to-date material on MMIC design techniques. Structured in the form of modular chapters, each covering a specific topic in a concise form suitable for delivery in a single lectureEmphasis on clear explanation and a step-by-step approach that aims to help students to easily grasp complex concepts Contains tutorial questions and problems allowing readers to test their knowledgeAn accompanying website containing supporting material in the form of slides and software (MATLAB) listingsUnique material on negative resistance oscillator design, noise analysis and three-port design techniquesCovers the latest developments in microwave active circuit design with new approaches that are not covered elsewhere"
