Fundamentals Of Nonlinear Behavioral Modeling For RF And Microwave Design

Behavioral models are often used to describe phenomena for which the underlying physical processes may not be known fully or are too difficult to capture completely. They use observed data to relate the outcomes of a process to its stimuli through a purely mathematical relationship. The radio-frequency and microwave end of the electromagnetic spectrum are prime candidates for behavior modeling, and here engineers focusing on that range explain to colleagues some of the fundamental ideas and techniques that might be adapted to their own design methods and processes. The seven papers are from the International Microwave Symposium in Philadelphia in June 2003. Annotation c2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
