Ludwig R., Bretchko P. RF Circuit Design: Theory and Applications

Prentice Hall, Inc., 2000. — 653 p. — ISBN: 0-13-095323-7.For upper-level Electrical Engineering introductory courses in RF Circuit Design and analog integratedcircuits. This practical and comprehensive book introduces RF circuit design fundamentals with an emphasis on design methodologies. *Provides MatLAB routines to carry out simple transmission line computations and allow the graphical display of the resulting impedance behaviors as part of the Smith Chart. *Allows students to implement these software tools on their own PC. *All m-files will be included on a bound in CD-ROM. *Presents RF Amplifier Designs, including small and large signal designs, narrow versus broad band, low noise, and many others. *Provides students with useful broad-based knowledge of common amplifier designs used in the industry. *Discusses Matching Networks, such as T and P matching networks and single and double stub matching. It also includes Discrete and Microstrip Line matching techniques with computer simulations.Transmission Line Analysis.
