Microwave Devices, Circuits and Subsystems for Communications Engineering

Microwave Devices, Circuits and Subsystems for Communications Engineering provides a detailed treatment of the common microwave elements found in modern microwave communications systems. The treatment is thorough without being unnecessarily mathematical. The emphasis is on acquiring a conceptual understanding of the techniques and technologies discussed and the practical design criteria required to apply these in real engineering situations.<br> <br> Key topics addressed include:<br> * Microwave diode and transistor equivalent circuits<br> * Microwave transmission line technologies and microstrip design<br> * Network methods and s-parameter measurements<br> * Smith chart and related design techniques<br> * Broadband and low-noise amplifier design<br> * Mixer theory and design<br> * Microwave filter design<br> * Oscillators, synthesisers and phase locked loops<br> <br> Each chapter is written by specialists in their field and the whole is edited by experience authors whose expertise spans the fields of communications systems engineering and microwave circuit design.<br> <br> Microwave Devices, Circuits and Subsystems for Communications Engineering is suitable for senior electrical, electronic or telecommunications engineering undergraduate students, first year postgraduate students and experienced engineers seeking a conversion or refresher text.<br> <br> * Includes a companion website featuring:<br> * Solutions to selected problems<br> * Electronic versions of the figures<br> * Sample chapter
