Microwave and RF Design, Volume 5: Amplifiers and Oscillators

Microwave and RF Design: Amplifiers and Oscillators presents the design of amplifiers and oscillators in a way that enables state-of-the-art designs to be realized. Detailed strategies and case studies are presented. Design of competitive microwave amplifiers and oscillators is particularly challenging as many trade-offs are required in design, and the design decisions cannot be reduced to a formulaic flow. The emphasis is on developing design skills. This book is suitable as both an undergraduate and graduate textbook, as well as a career-long reference book. Key Features: The fifth volume of a comprehensive series on microwave and RF design; Open access ebook editions are hosted by NC State University Libraries; 9 worked examples; An average of 23 exercises per chapter; Answers to selected exercises; 6 extensive case studies following the design of competitive amplifiers and oscillators with world leading performance; Volume 5 of a five volume series on microwave and RF design, all available as open access ebooks; A companion book, Fundamentals of Microwave and RF Design, is suitable as a comprehensive undergraduate textbook on microwave engineering.
