Fundamentals of Rf and Microwave Transistor

The first book to provide a comprehensive treatment of RF and microwave low noise and power amplifier circuits, Fundamentals of RF and Microwave Transistor Amplifiers integrates theory with practical topics. Detailed, real-world examples and over 120 problems reinforce topics such as analyses, design, modeling, materials, fabrication, and physical, electrical and thermal practical considerations with special coverage of amplifier circuits. Graduate students, university professors, scientists, practicing engineers, and designers in the areas of RF and microwave amplifiers will benefit from the book s emphasis on theory, design and practical aspects of amplifier design in day-to-day applications.

Inder J. Bahl, PhD, has been working on microwave and millimeter wave GaAs ICs for more than twenty-five years.?He is responsible for the design of over 400 MMICs, including low-noise amplifiers, driver amplifiers, broadband amplifiers, power amplifiers (high-power, high-efficiency, and broadband), dc and ac coupled transimpedance and limiting amplifiers, multi-bit phase shifters, narrow and broadband SPDT switches, redundant switches, programmable attenuators, balanced mixers, quadrature downconverters, upconverters, transmit chips, receive chips and transmit/receive chips.?Dr. Bahl has also developed modules consisting of MMICs for PAR and ECM applications.
