Features: "RF Circuit Design: Theory and Application" can serve as a textbook or reference for students in communication and electronic disciplines. For engineers already working in the fields of communication, computer, and microelectronics, it is also an excellent reference book. This book analyzes the difficulties and solutions encountered when ordinary low-frequency circuits and components operate at radio frequency bands. It focuses on discussing the transmission characteristics of TEM (Transverse Electromagnetic) waves and the principles and methods of various RF devices made with microstrip lines. In terms of content arrangement, the book aims to enable students and engineering professionals who have not systematically studied electromagnetic field theory to understand and master the basic design methods and principles of RF circuits. The book is divided into 10 chapters, with the first 4 chapters introducing the characteristics of RF transmission, the basic principles of transmission lines, and Smith charts, network parameters, and signal flow graphs as tools for RF and microwave analysis. The last 6 chapters cover the principle analysis and design methods of various passive and active RF devices. The book includes numerous practical examples with detailed solutions. The author has also developed a significant number of simulation or problem-solving software related to the content and topics of this book using MATLAB mathematical tool software for readers to use.
