Small Signal Microwave Amplifier Design

by Theodore Grosch

Overview

This book explains techniques and examples for designing stable amplifiers for high-frequency applications, in which the signal is small and the amplifier circuit is linear. An in-depth discussion of linear network theory provides the foundation needed to develop actual designs. Examples throughout the book will show you how to apply the knowledge gained in each chapter leading to the complex design of low noise amplifiers. Exercises at the end of each chapter will help students to practice their skills. The solutions to these design problems are available in an accompanying solutions booklet (Small Signal Microwave Amplifier Design: Solutions).

Editorial Reviews

As a reference for RF and microwave designers or as a text for high level engineering students, this volume serves to explain both classical and modern techniques for designing small signal, high frequency amplifiers. It introduces analytical methods of high- frequency amplifier design by determining the characteristics of input and output networks and their ultimate synthesis, and covers topics such as transmission lines, S-parameters, circuit stability, narrow band amplifier design, and noise figure basics.
