RF Circuit Design: Theory and Applications Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you're interested in learning RF Circuit design, you need this book. This book gradually steps through important sections of analysis in RF design and works its way up to amplifiers, oscillators and mixers.
I bought this book without fully knowing a large number of founding concepts of RF theory. What I found was that this book anticipates this from the reader and invests the first few chapters teaching such topics.
As you progress through the high frequency analysis and learning how to apply the smith chart, you're brought into the world of active circuits. Systematically applying earlier taught material to more advanced topics, the reader is left with a good understanding of pratical application.
Overall, this is a beginner-intermediate RF text. After completing a study of this text, you'll have enough to make basic RF circuits and subsystems. To meet the needs of real world applications, you will need a supplimentary text such as Microwave Transistor Amplifiers by Gonzalez. To back this, i point out the extreme lack of emphasis on S-parameter data, as well as only 15 pages on broadband amplifiers.
Still this is a pretty good book.

Its objective is to develop the RF circuit design aspects in such a way that the need for transmission line principles is made clear without adopting an electromagnetic field approach. CD-ROM included.
