Features: The major feature of this book is the perfect integration of microwave electronic circuit design theory, circuit analysis, and hardware implementation. The numerous mathematical formulas cited and derived in the book demonstrate a high academic theoretical level. At the same time, the many examples, provided circuit data, charts, and device parameters make the book highly valuable for engineering applications. The book not only elaborates on circuits but also provides an in-depth analysis of devices and their models. The extensive use of advanced CAD tools is another key feature of this book. It enables readers to understand the in-depth theories and latest developments in international research on both isolated and integrated RF/microwave circuit design, as well as to gain practical design methods and state-of-the-art novel circuits. The abundant references and recommended readings cited in the book also provide readers with a pathway for further in-depth study in their areas of interest. The book consists of six chapters. After an overview of modulation types and wireless transceiver systems in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 dedicates significant space to an in-depth discussion of the models and parameter extraction of diodes, BJTs, and various FETs. Chapter 3 focuses on microwave amplifier design, which is one of the key topics of the book, covering numerous knowledge points and design methods related to amplifiers such as noise, broadband matching, high power, and linearization. Chapter 4 provides a detailed analysis of both passive and active mixers. Chapter 5 explains the principles of RF oscillators, offering an in-depth analysis of phase noise and high-Q oscillating circuits, with the demonstration of numerous mature circuits being a highlight of this chapter. The final chapter on RF frequency synthesis focuses on integer-N fractional-N PLL frequency synthesis, while also providing a certain depth of discussion on fractional-N PLL methods and DDS. This book is suitable for engineers, researchers, and university faculty and students majoring in related fields of RF/microwave circuit design.
