From the Back Cover
For upper-level Electrical Engineering introductory courses in RF Circuit Design and analog integratedcircuits.
This practical and comprehensive book introduces RF circuit design fundamentals with an emphasis on design methodologies.
- Provides MATLAB routines to carry out simple transmission line computations and allow the graphical display of the resulting impedance behaviors as part of the Smith Chart.
- Allows students to implement these software tools on their own PC.
- All m-files will be included on a bound in CD-ROM.
- Presents RF Amplifier Designs, including small and large signal designs, narrow versus broad band, low noise, and many others.
- Provides students with useful broad-based knowledge of common amplifier designs used in the industry.
- Discusses Matching Networks, such as T and P matching networks and single and double stub matching. It also includes Discrete and Microstrip Line matching techniques with computer simulations....
- Presents Scattering parameterssuch as realistic listings of S-parameters for transistors and transmission line.
- Highlights practical use of S-parameters in circuit design and performance evaluation.
- Features Smith Chart, including series and parallel connections of resistor, capacitor, and inductor networks. It also includes simulations in MATLAB to provide graphical display of circuit behavior and performance analysis.
- Introduces the Smith Chart as a design tool to monitor electric behavior of circuits.
- Introduces the generic forms of Oscillators and Mixers, including negative resistance condition, fixed-frequency, and YIG-tuned designs.
- Explains the most common oscillator designs used in many RF systems.
- Provides an overview of common filter types, including low, high, bandpass, Butterworth, and Chebyshev filters.
- Provides design tools to enable students to develop a host of practically realizable filters.
- Discusses the high-frequency behavior of common circuit components, including the behavior of resistors, capacitors, and inductors.
- Helps students understand the difference of low versus high frequency responses.
- Introduces the theory of distributed parameters through a discussion on Transmission Lines. This includes line parameters, sources and load terminations, and voltage and current waves.
- Outlines the need of distributed circuit theory in today's high frequency circuits.
- Analyzes active/passive RF circuits through various network description models, especially the two-port network. This discussion also covers impedance, admittance, ABCD, h-parameter networks, and interrelations.
- Includes a number of important pedagogical features―Intersperses examples throughout each chapter, and includes self-written MATLAB routines and circuit simulations by a commercial RF software package.
- Assists students by clarifying and explaining the theoretical developments.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Goodwill of Central and Coastal Virginia, Richmond, Virginia, U.S.A., +1 (804) 521-4906 -, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
