Features: This book is a specialized monograph on the analysis and design of microwave solid-state circuits. It is divided into 15 chapters and its main features include:
- Extensive coverage of passive and active RF and microwave circuit design techniques;
- Introduction to practical problem-solving experiences in microwave circuit design, including heterogeneous structures and wide-bandgap devices;
- Review of MEMS technology;
- Providing some methods for miniaturization and low-cost circuit design;
- Collecting numerous design curves and tables for easy reference by readers.
The book is concise in structure, concise in content, and progresses from simple to complex, making it suitable as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in electronic information engineering, communication engineering, and related fields. It can also serve as a reference for engineers and technicians in the electronics industry.
MMICs (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits) based on GaAs (gallium arsenide) technology are characterized by their small size and superior performance, and their applications are becoming increasingly widespread. Electronic systems using MMICs include: satellite communication, phased array radar systems, electronic warfare, and other military systems, as well as being widely used in consumer electronics.
"Microstrip Solid-State Circuit Design (Second Edition)" provides a comprehensive exploration of the development of RF and microwave circuit technology.
The authors of this book are an outstanding team of experts, offering readers a thorough understanding of network theory, passive circuit design, and the current state of solid-state devices and microwave circuits. With the support of numerous references and exercises, the book systematically introduces transmission lines and lumped elements, resonators, impedance matching networks, hybrid joints and couplers, filters, active and passive solid-state devices, oscillators, amplifiers, detectors and mixers, microwave control circuits, frequency multipliers and dividers, MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems), and circuit manufacturing techniques.
The appendix introduces S parameters and ABCD parameters, transfer functions, lists units and symbols, and includes some physical constants to facilitate reading.
As an important reference book, it provides valuable resources for researchers, engineers, and graduate students engaged in RF and microwave engineering.
The book offers a relatively comprehensive introduction to transmission lines and lumped-parameter elements, impedance transformation techniques, hybrid joints and couplers, and filters.
