Microwave Amplifier And Active Circuit Design Using The Real Frequency Technique

The book summarizes broadband matching strategies using real frequency technique (RFT) assisted with CAD based optimization. The provides the fundamentals and know-how for designing and realizing RF/microwave amplifiers and circuits using the real frequency technique. The book also covers some sub system level applications such Radar receiver design. After introducing the RFT in Chapter 2 for the case of multistage amplifier design, each chapter introduces a new amplifier or active circuit design method using the RFT. Each design chapter summarizes the design steps and provides design examples. The book is divided into nine chapters.

Pierre Jarry, PhD, is a professor at the University of Bordeaux, France, and also serves the French National Science Research Center (CNRS) laboratory IMS (Integration du Materiau au Systeme). Previously he was professor at the University of Brest, Brest, France, where he created and directed the Laboratory of Electronics and Telecommunication Systems, which is affiliated with the CNRS. His research focuses on the areas of microwave filters (localized, distributed, multimode, and genetic), and microwave amplifiers (lumped, distributed and lossy distributed, power, and multi-stage).

Jacques N. Beneat, PhD, is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Norwich University, Vermont, USA. He received his PhD in electrical and computer engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Massachusetts, USA, with a focus in advanced microwave structures for satellite communications.
