Microwave Devices, Circuits and Subsystems for CommunicationsEngineering provides a detailed treatment of the commonmicrowave elements found in modern microwave communicationssystems. The treatment is thorough without being unnecessarilymathematical. The emphasis is on acquiring a conceptualunderstanding of the techniques and technologies discussed and thepractical design criteria required to apply these in realengineering situations.
Key topics addressed include:
* Microwave diode and transistor equivalent circuits
* Microwave transmission line technologies and microstripdesign
* Network methods and s-parameter measurements
* Smith chart and related design techniques
* Broadband and low-noise amplifier design
* Mixer theory and design
* Microwave filter design
* Oscillators, synthesisers and phase locked loops
Each chapter is written by specialists in their field and thewhole is edited by experience authors whose expertise spans thefields of communications systems engineering and microwave circuitdesign.
Microwave Devices, Circuits and Subsystems for CommunicationsEngineering is suitable for senior electrical, electronic ortelecommunications engineering undergraduate students, first yearpostgraduate students and experienced engineers seeking aconversion or refresher text.
Includes a companion website featuring:
* Solutions to selected problems
* Electronic versions of the figures
* Sample chapter
