This book demonstrates a novel, efficient and automated scheme to
design and evaluate the performance of electronic oscillators,
operating at the 100s of Megahertz to 10s of Gigahertz frequencies.
The author describes a new oscillator design and performance
evaluation scheme that addresses all the issues associated with the
traditional S parameter (large, small signal) based oscillator
design technique by exploiting the properties of a new breed of RF
or microwave transistors, the powerful Discrete Fourier Transform
and the SPICE tool's transient analysis. Readers will benefit from
an exhaustive set of detailed, step-by-step oscillator (feedback,
negative resistance, crystal and differential) design examples, as
well as the software tools (C executables) used to create the
design examples. Designers will be enabled to eliminate the
complexities of the traditional oscillator design/performance
evaluation scheme using S (large, small) parameter, resulting in
accurate, robust and reliable designs. Describes an efficient,
automated oscillator design and performance evaluation scheme that
addresses all the challenges associated with the traditional S
parameter (large, small signal) based oscillator design; Provides
numerous step-by-step design examples, illustrating the details of
the new scheme presented; Includes C executables that run on both
Linux and Windows, which the reader can use to experiment and
design any oscillator (feedback common emitter or base, negative
resistance common emitter or base or differential).
This book describes a novel, efficient and powerful scheme for
designing and evaluating the performance characteristics of any
electronic filter designed with predefined specifications. The
author explains techniques that enable readers to eliminate
complicated manual, and thus error-prone and time-consuming, steps
of traditional design techniques. The presentation includes
demonstration of efficient automation, using an ANSI C language
program, which accepts any filter design specification (e.g.
Chebyschev low-pass filter, cut-off frequency, pass-band ripple
etc.) as input and generates as output a SPICE(Simulation Program
with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) format netlist. Readers then can
use this netlist to run simulations with any version of the popular
SPICE simulator, increasing accuracy of the final results, without
violating any of the key principles of the traditional design
scheme.
This book describes how engineers can make optimum use of the two
industry standard analysis/design tools, SystemC and SystemC-AMS.
The authors use a system-level design approach, emphasizing how
SystemC and SystemC-AMS features can be exploited most effectively
to analyze/understand a given electronic system and explore the
design space. The approach taken by this book enables system
engineers to concentrate on only those SystemC/SystemC-AMS features
that apply to their particular problem, leading to more efficient
design. The presentation includes numerous, realistic and complete
examples, which are graded in levels of difficulty to illustrate
how a variety of systems can be analyzed with these tools.
This book explains and demonstrates with an exhaustive set of
design examples, how common types of radio frequency(RF) amplifiers
(classes A, B, AB, C, D, E, F, G and H) can be designed, and then
have their performance characteristics evaluated and optimized with
SPICE. The author demonstrates the transient analysis features of
SPICE, along with industry-standard load- and source-pull
techniques to simulate the steady-state, long-term time-domain
behavior of any test RF amplifier.* Describes methods for designing
and evaluating/optimizing the performance characteristics of an RF
amplifier that circumvent the issues involved with existing,
traditional methods and don't require expensive, high-end software
tools;* Includes C language executables for each RF amplifier type,
eliminating errors that might creep in while computing passive
component (capacitor, inductor, resistor) values for a given RF
amplifier type;* Demonstrates industry-standard load- and
source-pull schemes that can be included easily in text SPICE
netlists, allowing accurate calculation of impedance matching and
impedance values at the input and output ports of the test RF
amplifier, eliminating messy, error-prone S parameter based
calculations.
This book presents a novel, automated, accurate and unified scheme
to design and determine the performance characteristics of
standalone planar, spiral inductors and multiple coupled planar
spiral inductors (as in embedded transformers), for RF/microwave
MMIC designers. The author demonstrates with a set of
analysis/design examples a novel scheme that exploits judiciously
the existing transmission theory and concepts, organizing and
condensing available, scattered information/knowledge about planar
spiral inductor, embedded planar transformer and planar antenna
design and performance evaluation, into one coherent and unified
electronic circuit model easily used by radio frequency electronic
circuit engineers. A dedicated chapter contains an exhaustive (19)
set of design examples. Presents a bottom-up scheme, starting with
Maxwell's equations of classical electrodynamics and transmission
line theory (Telegrapher's equation), specifically microstrips;
Demonstrates design of standalone planar, spiral inductors and
multiple coupled planar spiral inductors; Includes a set of
ready-to-use, C executables (for both Linux and Windows) , that
accept predefined input parameters for each of the sub-circuits
discussed and generate SPICE netlists for the equivalent electrical
circuit; Automates execution of multi-step design calculations to
guarantee their accuracy and reliability.
This book offers readers a comprehensive, detailed analysis and
treatment of optical waveguides (fiber, slab), an essential
component of ultra-high bandwidth long, medium and short-haul
telecommunication. The author describes an analysis scheme for
optical waveguides that combines both geometric|ray optics and
Maxwell's equations-based classical electrodynamics. This unique
approach enables readers to develop an intuitive understanding of
this topic, starting with macro properties, e.g., V parameter of an
optical fiber, and progressively refining the analysis to
individual modes of propagation through an optical waveguide. An
exhaustive set of diagrams highlight the key features of an optical
waveguide property, such as acceptance angle, meridional and skew
rays in an optical fiber, or signal attenuation and dispersion in
an optical waveguide. The author also provides a set of
ready-to-use, ANSI C executables (for both Linux and Windows) that
enable the reader to e.g, determine the allowed propagation modes
(even, odd TE|TM) of a graded, step index optical fiber and a slab
waveguide. Offers readers a single-source reference to the analysis
and design of optical waveguides; Begins with macro-level analysis
of the properties of optical waveguides and dives deeply into
details in a step-by-step manner, enabling readers to develop an
intuitive understanding; Includes C language executables, along
with optical waveguide analysis and design examples to demonstrate
their use in context.
This book presents a seamless and unified scheme for automating
very complicated calculations required to design, evaluate
performance characteristics of, and implement broadband and narrow
band impedance matching sub-circuits. The results of these
automated calculations (the component values of the impedance
matching sub-circuit) are formatted as text SPICE(Simulation
Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) input netlists. Readers
then immediately can use any available SPICE simulator to measure
the performance characteristics (DC response, transient response,
frequency response, RMS power transferred from source to load,
reflection coefficient insertion and transmission loss, ans
standing wave ratio - SWR). The text SPICE netlist can be edited
easily to fine-tune the performance characteristics, and perform
design space exploration and "what-if" type of analyses. Presents
details of a coherent, logical and seamless scheme to design and
measure the performance characteristics of both broad and narrow
band impedance matching sub-circuits; Relieves the designer from
having to manually do complex, multi-step(therefore error-prone and
time-consuming) calculations, especially those related to broadband
impedance matching sub-circuit design; Provides SPICE input
netlists, which enable readers to use any available SPICE simulator
to estimate the performance characteristics.
