Microwave And Rf Design : A Systems Approach

Description

icrowave and RF Design is a Comprehensive introduction to RF and microwave design. The book has been developed over ten years of teaching the class to Master’s level students. A strong emphasis on design permeates the book with extensive practical design examples, primarily the cell phone system, focused on the main technologies encountered in RF engineering today. Design is oriented toward microstrip and planar circuit design so that lessons learned can be applied to real-world design task. For those not specializing in RF and microwave design, this book provides extensive knowledge that can be used in system studies and when working with RF hardware engineers. The book is also characterized by extensive emphasis on design with many examples and discussion of manufacturability and practical design decisions. This book is the result of years of work, including the publication of a beta version so we could make sure the final product is the very best textbook available. Just as an example, the beta version was 670 pages, and comments from reviewers like you have resulted in a 1,000 page powerhouse. Written by Michael Steer, Lampe Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at North Carolina State University, the independent modules in this book can be employed for a single course, or the same textbook can carry the student and instructor through multiple courses in microwave and radio frequency design. This book is a comprehensive introduction to RF and microwave design with a systems first approach.
