Nonlinear Microwave Circuit Design (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Design techniques for nonlinear microwave circuits are much less developed than for linear microwave circuits. Until now there has been no up-to-date text available in this area. Current titles in this field are considered outdated and tend to focus on analysis, failing to adequately address design and measurement aspects. Giannini and Leuzzi provide the theoretical background to non-linear microwave circuits before going on to discuss the practical design and measurement of non-linear circuits and components. Non-linear Microwave Circuit Design reviews all of the established analysis and characterisation techniques available and provides detailed coverage of key modelling methods. Practical examples are used throughout the text to emphasise the design and application focus of the book. * Provides a unique, design-focused, coverage of non-linear microwave circuits * Covers the fundamental properties of nonlinear circuits and methods for device modelling * Outlines non-linear measurement techniques and characterisation of active devices * Reviews available design methodologies for non-linear power amplifiers and details advanced software modelling tools * Provides the first detailed treatment of non-linear frequency multipliers, mixers and oscillators * Focuses on the application potential of non-linear components Practicing engineers and circuit designers working in microwave and communications engineering and designing new applications, as well as senior undergraduates, graduate students and researchers in microwave and communications engineering and their libraries will find this a highly rewarding read.

Autorenporträt

Franco Giannini was born in Galatina, in 1944 and graduated in Electronics Engineering, summa cum laude in 1968, before getting the chair of Full Professor of Applied Electronics in 1980. In 2008, he was awarded the Laurea Honoris Causa Scientiarum Technicarum degree by the Warsaw University of Technology, Poland. Since 1981 he has been at the University of Roma Tor Vergata, where he has served as Head of Department, Vice President for International Affairs, Pro-Rector, and Dean of the Faculty of Electronics Engineering. He has chaired the Microwave Engineering Centre for Space Applications. He has been working on modeling, characterization and design methodologies of active and passive microwave components and circuits, including MICs and MMICs for telecommunication and space applications, authoring or co-authoring more than 400 scientific contributions. He chaired the theme MMICs of the national project MADESS I of the CNR and was a member of the Management Board of MADESS II, chairman of the theme MMICs of the National Project MICROELECTRONICS, and member of the Board of Directors of the Italian Space Agency. He has also been active in European Projects and was the Italian representative in the European Working Group for GaAs Microelectronics. He has been a consultant for various national and international organizations, including the ITU for the United Nations Development Program, and the European Union for ESPRIT, LTR, ISTC projects. In 1996 Professor Giannini was awarded the Irena Galewska Kielbasinski Prize by the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany, and an Honorary Professorship by WUT, Poland, in 2001. Giorgio Leuzzi received a degree in electronic engineering from the University of Roma, Italy, in 1982. In 1983; he served in the Italian Army as an officer in the Technical Corps. In 1984 he became research assistant at the University of Roma Tor Vergata and taught Microwave Electronics there. He worked in the field of microwave integrated transmission lines and is now involved in the study of nonlinear microwave circuits.

"...any reader of Nonlinear Microwave Circuit Design will gain insight into the many issues that are blissfully disregarded when using only linear techniques." ( IEEE Microwave Magazine , December 2004)
