In the high frequency world, the passive technologies required to realize RF and microwave functionality present distinctive challenges. SAW filters, dielectric resonators, MEMS, and waveguide do not have counterparts in the low frequency or digital environment. Even when conventional lumped components can be used in high frequency applications, their behavior does not resemble that observed at lower frequencies. RF and Microwave Passive and Active Technologies provides detailed information about a wide range of component technologies used in modern RF and microwave systems.

Updated chapters include new material on such technologies as MEMS, device packaging, surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters, bipolar junction and heterojunction transistors, and high mobility electron transistors (HMETs). The book also features a completely rewritten section on wide bandgap transistors.

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.

Considerably expanded and updated, the second edition of this bestselling reference and textbook is updated with current wireless systems with sections on 4G and the technologies behind 5G cellular communications. This book includes 10 real world case studies of leading edge designs, taking readers through the design process and the many pragmatic designs that must be made during the process. It includes extensive end-of-chapter exercises ranging from less challenging testing to involved, open-ended design exercises.

A comprehensive source for microwave and wireless circuit design, the Commercial Wireless Circuits and Components Handbook reviews the fundamentals of transmitters and receivers, then presents detailed chapters on individual circuit types. It also covers packaging, large and small signal characterization, and high volume testing techniques for both devices and circuits. This handbook not only provides important information for engineers working with wireless RF or microwave circuitry, it also serves as an excellent source for those requiring information outside of their area of expertise, such as managers, marketers, and technical support workers who need a better understanding of the fields driving their decisions.
