RF and Microwave Circuits, Measurements, and Modeling

Part of the second edition of the best-selling RF and Microwave Handbook, this convenient and sharply focused guide focuses on RF and microwave circuits, measurements, CAD, simulation, and modeling. The growth of wireless technology over the past decade has been enormous, and this carefully edited book discusses the latest developments and technologies impacting the wireless field. New chapters discuss high-power PAs (power amplifiers), bit error rate testing, and nonlinear modeling of heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs), while most other chapters feature new and updated material that reflects recent progress in such areas as high-volume testing, transmitters and receivers, and CAD tools.
