Features: This book introduces the technology and design methods of monolithic RF/microwave integrated circuits. Based on a detailed explanation of the manufacturing processes of monolithic RF/microwave integrated circuits, the structures and models of available passive and active devices, design and simulation methods, testing techniques, and application development trends, it comprehensively elaborates on the design methods of various basic circuit units and integrated systems as well as new technologies. The book consists of 12 chapters. The first four chapters introduce the silicon and compound semiconductor technologies (Group III to Group IV elements in the periodic table) used in monolithic RF/microwave integrated circuits, lumped and distributed passive devices, bipolar and field-effect transistors, circuit and electromagnetic field design tools and simulation techniques. Chapters 5 to 11 respectively cover the design methods and latest achievements in monolithic amplifiers, oscillators, mixers, switches and attenuators, integrated antennas, and transceivers. Chapter 12 discusses the testing techniques of monolithic RF/microwave integrated circuits. This book serves as a textbook or reference for modern RF/microwave integrated circuit chip technology and design. It can be used as a textbook for graduate students or senior undergraduate students, a reference for engineering applications, and also as a well-known, comprehensive, and systematic monograph in the field of monolithic RF/microwave integrated circuits.
