This book is aimed at both practising and postgraduate engineers who are interested in the particular problems of high-frequency circuit design. It covers network parameters and how to work with them, various approaches to the use of conductors, and it introduces a large number of circuits using active devices (transistors).
It also deals extensively with computer supported problem solving, both with bespoke and off-the-shelf commercial software on PC or mainframe hosts. The problems of compatibility and noise are dealt with practically and in detail. There are chapters on high-frequency conductors, HF circuits with power transistors, unipolar and bipolar transistors in power stages, computer design and optimisation.
This text examines the function and applications of semiconductors and transmission lines in high frequency circuits. Topics discussed include specific high frequency semiconductor devices, HF circuits with power transistors, HF receivers, CAD, scattering parameters, matching problems and more.
