Highlighting the challenges RF and microwave circuit designers face
in their day-to-day tasks, RF and Microwave Circuits, Measurements,
and Modeling explores RF and microwave circuit designs in terms of
performance and critical design specifications. The book discusses
transmitters and receivers first in terms of functional circuit
block and then examines each block individually. Separate articles
consider fundamental amplifier issues, low noise amplifiers, power
amplifiers for handset applications and high power, power
amplifiers. Additional chapters cover other circuit functions
including oscillators, mixers, modulators, phase locked loops,
filters and multiplexers.
New chapters discuss high-power PAs, bit error rate testing, and
nonlinear modeling of heterojunction bipolar transistors, while
other chapters feature new and updated material that reflects
recent progress in such areas as high-volume testing, transmitters
and receivers, and CAD tools.
The unique behavior and requirements associated with RF and
microwave systems establishes a need for unique and complex models
and simulation tools. The required toolset for a microwave circuit
designer includes unique device models, both 2D and 3D
electromagnetic simulators, as well as frequency domain based small
signal and large signal circuit and system simulators. This unique
suite of tools requires a design procedure that is also
distinctive. This book examines not only the distinct design tools
of the microwave circuit designer, but also the design procedures
that must be followed to use them effectively.
A psychological thriller set in the West Indies in the 1970s. David
Beauchamp goes to the island of St Cats to teach science but soon
finds himself embroiled in a strange world of full-moon parties,
creole aristocrats, and voodoo adepts in a fast-moving tale that
will keep you up half the night finishing it.
