Bücher von Michael Steer

Presents the design of amplifiers and oscillators in a way that enables state-of-the-art designs to be realized. Detailed strategies and case studies are presented. The emphasis is on developing design skills. This book is suitable as both an undergraduate and graduate textbook, as well as a career-long reference book.

Focuses on the design of systems based on microwave modules. A variety of RF modules, including amplifiers, local oscillators, isolators, phase detectors, frequency multipliers and dividers, phase-locked loops, and direct digital synthesizers are considered. Design strategies for synthesizing filters based on parallel coupled lines are presented.

Presents the tools and techniques required to analyse and design microwave and RF circuits. The topics covered include scattering parameters, signal flow graphs, and Smith charts. This book is suitable as both an undergraduate and graduate textbook, as well as a career-long reference book.

Builds on the concepts of forward- and backward-travelling waves. Many examples are included of advanced techniques for analysing and designing transmission line networks with microstrip lines primarily used in design examples.

Provides a circuits- and systems-oriented approach to modern microwave and RF systems. Sufficient details at the circuits and sub-system levels are provided to understand how modern radios are implemented. Design is emphasized throughout.

Enables mastery of the essential concepts required to cross the barriers to a successful career in microwave and RF design. Extensive treatment of scattering parameters, that naturally describe power flow, and of Smith-chart-based design procedures prepare the student for success.
