This book teaches the necessary knowledge and skills required by today s RF and microwave engineer in a concise, structured and systematic way. Reflecting modern developments in the field, the book focuses on active circuit design covering the latest devices and design techniques. It is an ideal textbook, containing full instructor support, for a one or two semester course on RF and microwave circuit design and analysis.

Structure: The book is uniquely structured in the form of 24 modular chapters, each covering a specific topic. The chapters are grouped into 8 broad subject areas. Each lecture is designed to be self-contained and builds on its predecessors.

Coverage: from electromagnetic and transmission line theory and S-parameters through amplifier and oscillator design including special techniques for low noise and broadband design.

Focus: The focus is on active circuit analysis and design including up to date material on MMIC design techniques.

Style: Each lecture develops the material from concept through theoretical principles to practical design methodology, supported by numerous examples.

Each chapter contains tutorial questions and problems to allow the reader to test their knowledge.

Website: contains supporting material in the form of slides and software (Matlab) listings "
