Microwave De-embedding: From Theory to Applications

This groundbreaking book is the first to give an introduction to microwave de-embedding, showing how it is the cornerstone for waveform engineering. The authors of each chapter clearly explain the theoretical concepts, providing a foundation that supports linear and non-linear measurements, modelling and circuit design. Recent developments and future trends in the field are covered throughout, including successful strategies for low-noise and power amplifier design. This book is a must-have for those wishing to understand the full potential of the microwave de-embedding concept to achieve successful results in the areas of measurements, modelling, and design at high frequencies.

With this book you will learn:

• The theoretical background of high-frequency de-embedding for measurements, modelling, and design
• Details on applying the de-embedding concept to the transistor’s linear, non-linear, and noise behaviour
• The impact of de-embedding on low-noise and power amplifier design
• The recent advances and future trends in the field of high-frequency de-embedding

• Presents the theory and practice of microwave de-embedding, from the basic principles to recent advances and future trends
• Written by experts in the field, all of whom are leading researchers in the area
• Each chapter describes theoretical background and gives experimental results and practical applications
• Includes forewords by Giovanni Ghione and Stephen Maas
