This new edition provides an introduction to fundamental mixer types, as well as variations on the classical mixer designs. It includes easy-to-understand explanations of practical designs and applications of microwave and millimeter-wave mixers and mixer circuits. The only book devoted exclusively to the subject, this A to Z guide brings the reader up to date on every aspect of practical mixer design, from introductory theory to advanced analysis. By the author of Nonlinear Microwave Circuits and C/NL: Linear and Nonlinear Microwave Circuit Analysis and Optimization Software.

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.

Designed for microwave and RF engineers, this is a presentation of nonlinear microwave and RF circuits. It offers an understanding of the theory of nonlinear circuit analysis that they need for their work in the field. There is guidance on designing nonlinear circuits and modelling solid-state devices for nonlinear circuit analysis by computer, showing how characteristics of such models affect the analysis of these circuits. This second edition features new material, including critical discussions on nonlinear analysis of oscillators and design issues relating to RF (radio frequency) and...

Noise is a fundamental problem that degrades the performance of every communications device. Think of every time static interrupts a cell phone conversation. Noise starts at a very basic level--in the circuits within communications devices and systems. This book is a comprehensive treatment of how noise affects circuit performance. It covers practical methods for optimizing communications performance in a noisy environment.
