Microwave Solid-State Circuits and Applications

The comprehensive reference text focuses on the basic operating principles and the techniques used to incorporate solid-state devices into circuit applications. Fundamental design equations are derived and practical examples are given whenever possible. This second edition has been updated with the addition of the latest materials of new developments and various transistor (MESFET, HBT, and HEMT) circuits and applications. Existing chapters have been expanded to include such topics as microstrip resonators, couplers, and filters; and transmitter and oscillator system parameters. Another chapter will be updated with information on testing methods and equipment, including probing and fixturing methods, a review of testing and calibration methods, and a review of automated test equipment. Interactive software will also be included, and there is a 50% increase in problems and examples.

An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department
