Features: This book analyzes the difficulties encountered by ordinary low-frequency circuits and components when their operating frequency increases to the radio frequency band (typically 30MHz–4GHz), along with solutions to these challenges. It focuses on discussing the transmission characteristics of TEM (Transverse Electromagnetic) waves and the principles and methods of various radio frequency devices made using microstrip lines. In terms of content arrangement, the book aims to help students and engineering professionals in electronic disciplines who have not systematically studied electromagnetic field theory to understand and master the basic design methods and principles of radio frequency circuits. The book is divided into 10 chapters, with the first 4 chapters introducing the characteristics of radio frequency transmission, the basic principles of transmission lines, and Smith charts, network parameters, and signal flow graphs as tools for radio frequency and microwave analysis. The last 6 chapters cover the principle analysis and design methods of various passive and active radio frequency devices (including: filters, matching networks, high-frequency semiconductor devices, amplifiers, mixers, and oscillators). The book provides numerous practical examples with detailed solutions. The authors have 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. This book can serve as a textbook or reference for students in communication and electronic disciplines. For engineers already working in fields such as communication, computer, and microelectronics who are engaged in radio frequency and microwave circuit design, this is also an excellent reference book.
