Microwave and RF Design, Volume 5: Amplifiers and Oscillators

Microwave and RF Design: Amplifiers and Oscillators presents the design of amplifiers and oscillators in a way that enables state-of-the-art designs to be realized. Detailed strategies and case studies are presented. Design of competitive microwave amplifiers and oscillators is particularly challenging as many trade-offs are required in design, and the design decisions cannot be reduced to a formulaic flow. The emphasis is on developing design skills. This book is suitable as both an undergraduate and graduate textbook, as well as a career-long reference book.Key Features* The fifth volume of a comprehensive series on microwave and RF design* Open access ebook editions are hosted by NC State University Libraries at https://repository.lib.ncsu.edu/handle/1840.20/36776* 9 worked examples* An average of 23 exercises per chapter* Answers to selected exercises* 6 extensive case studies following the design of competitive amplifiers and oscillators with world leading performance* Volume 5 of a five volume series on microwave and RF design, all available as open access ebooks* A companion book, Fundamentals of Microwave and RF Design, is suitable as a comprehensive undergraduate textbook on microwave engineering
