Product DetailsSynopsisIn 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 text takes a practical approach to RF (radio frequency) circuit design, offering an understanding of the fundamental concepts that practitioners need to know and use for their work in this industry. It seeks to lay the groundwork for efficient passive circuit design.The first of a two-volume set, this leading-edge book takes a practical approach to RF circuit design, offering a complete understanding of the fundamental concepts you need to know and use for your work in this industry. The book lays the ground work for efficient RF circuit design in a step-by-step approach, by defining important principles and parameters and progressively introducing critical analytical tools. It helps you distinguish between RF and low frequency circuits, and offers a detailed look at a typical RF system. This is a tested and insightful book that contains answers to most of the questions practical engineers are asking. The first volume reviews various computer-aided simulation, synthesis, and optimization techniques used in modern RF and microwave design, and discusses the practical use of the graphical design tools, such as the Smith Chart.Product IdentifiersISBN-101580535216ISBN-139781580535212Key DetailsAuthorLes Besser, Rowan GilmoreNumber Of Pages576 pagesSeriesArtech House Microwave LibraryFormatHardcover / HardcoverPublication Date2003-10-01LanguageEnglishPublisherArtech HousePublication Year2003Additional DetailsNumber of Volumes2 vols.Volume NumberVol. 1Copyright Date2003IllustratedYesDimensionsWeight48 OzTarget AudienceGroupScholarly & ProfessionalClassification MethodLCCN2003-048107LC Classification NumberTK7867Dewey Decimal621.384/12Dewey Edition21Table Of ContentIntroduction to RF Circuit Design.
