This book covers all the major types of microwave sources, their distinguishing features, the primary research issues and the fundamental limits on performance. The book traces the technological trends that form the historical foundations of the field and compares the capabilities of HPM to those of conventional microwaves. It is also a text of reference for research into fast photoconducting switching, electromagnetic missiles and pulse compression.

This book is intended for systems engineers, hybrid and monolithic power amplifier designers, engineers involved in the development of CAD programs, academics, and industrial and goverment researchers. The book is devoted exclusively to high power GaAs FET amplifier design, covering the subject comprehensively, including FET design, circuit design, thermal and reliability analysis, and systems applications.

Organized for the instant look-up, this cookbook features over 800 closed form equations covering hundreds of transmission line configurations. It consolidates and distils key design data from over 600 original sources, some dating back to the 1920s. Over 200 illustrations render physical dimensions in precise detail so the reader can zero-in quickly on the optimum configuration. The reader will find coverage of the common coax, stripline, microstrip line and coplanar waveguide configurations, as well as lines such as suspended and inverted microstrip line, finline, slotline, micro-coplanar...

An overview of coupled line fundamentals, this text explains their applications in designing microwave and millimetre-wave components used in today's personal communication, audio/visual, microwave, radar, satellite communications, and other systems. The text provides readers with an understanding of stripline, microstrip, monolithic and coplanar technologies. Emphasizing design, analysis and modern fabrication techniques and practices, it provides knowledge and guidance in helping them develop compact and low-cost design solutions and components, such as loose and tight couplers, filters,...

Details improved approaches to the design of power oscillators that employ more analysis and theory and less empirical work than conventional design procedures. It bridges fundamental device physics and the development and implementation of practical microwave and millimeterwave power oscillators.

Provides coverage of the most efficient and effective methods of network analysis optimization and synthesis. A step-by-step guide to every aspect of the RF and microwave circuit design process - starting with a set of specifications and ending with hardware that performs as modeled the first time.

This work is intended for product designers and consultants in the RF and wireless communications industry. It is also suitable for use as a university-level text and as a reference for professional trainers. The guide contains measurement methods, system calculations, statistical procedures and actual circuit and measurement examples which can be put into practice. It comes with a diskette containing a database of drawings, schematics, text and the convenience of live equations. (The diskette operates on Macintosh Ststem 7 or later, Windows 3.1 or later and Microsoft Excel 4.0 or later).

Aims to present proven-under-fire microwave circuit design recipes that can be followed for fast design results. The text offers a complete treatment of FET resistive mixers, which offer the lowest intermodulation distortion of all types of mixers. There is also information on creating both square law and envelope diode detectors.

This work provides a comprehensive discussion of the bias dependence of equivalent circuit parameters for the three devices and an extensive discussion of temperature dependence. It: covers recess-etched MESFETs and self-aligned MESFETs with and without lightly-doped-drains and JFETs; analyzes GaAs-based pHEMTS and InP lattice-matched HEMT equivalent circuits; and describes a large-signal, temperature-dependent model extractor for A1GaAs-GaAs HBTs. The book is intended for circuit designers, process and device developers and test engineers.
