Features: This is a rigorous tutorial that helps you shorten the design cycle and improve device efficiency. Design engineer Andrei Grebennikov teaches you how to combine computer-aided design techniques for analysis and calculations, enhancing efficiency during processing and production. The book uses nearly 300 detailed charts, graphs, and circuit diagrams to provide all the information you need to improve your designs. It primarily elaborates on the theory, methods, design techniques, and optimized design methods that effectively combine analysis and computer-aided design for designing RF and microwave power amplifiers. It offers electronic engineers almost every possible method to improve design efficiency and shorten the design cycle. The book not only focuses on new methods based on new technologies but also covers many traditional design methods, which are crucial for the microelectronics core of modern wireless communication systems. The main contents include nonlinear circuit design methods, nonlinear active device modeling, impedance matching, power combiners, impedance transformers, directional couplers, high-efficiency power amplifier design, broadband power amplifiers, and power amplifier design in communication systems. This book is suitable for engineers, researchers, and students in relevant fields of higher education engaged in the design of RF and microwave power amplifiers.
