Detailed information on the principles of integrated design required for successful fabrication of MMIC chips at a reasonable cost. It emphasizes CAD techniques and the effects of material variation. The device modelling techniques presented demonstrate the simulation of overall MMIC chip behavior a

As electronic designers pack more and more circuits onto a single chip to create increasingly complex devices, they run into a daunting obstacle: intermodulation distortion. This distortion occurs when are circuits are too closely placed together and their operating frequencies begin to interfere with each other. This manual addresses all aspects of intermodulation distortion. From the basics of circuit design, to cutting-edge techniques, it offers practitioners hands-on guidance for their challenging projects.

Now extensively revised, this edition offers practitioners a comprehensive, practical, and up-to-date understanding of how to tackle a PA (power amplifier) design with confidence and quickly determine the cause of malfunctioning hardware. Includes five new chapters on some of today's most important topics, and the CD-ROM contains practical design tools and examples to help engineers with their work in the field.

Monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) are used in a host of electronics from cellular phones and global positioning systems to missile systems and radar. They are prized for their high performance and reliability, but they can be costly and highly difficult to produce. Proper design is the key to minimizing these problems. This practical resource is filled with real-world design techniques and rules of thumb that engineers can use on the job everyday to decrease costs and improve production quality. Emphasizing practice over theory, this handy reference is filled with photos of...

Power distribution networks (PDNs) are key components in today's high-performance electronic circuitry. They ensure that circuits have a constant, stable supply of power. The complexities of designing PDNs have been dramatically reduced by frequency-domain analysis. This book examines step-by-step how electrical engineers can use frequency-domain techniques to accurately simulate, measure, and model PDNs. It guides engineers through the ins and outs of these techniques to ensure they develop the right PDN for any type of circuit. Circuit engineers gain valuable insight from the book's best...
