Transistor Applications from RF to Microwave Frequencies: Theory of SiGe HBTs, pHEMT and CMOS and Practical Circuits up to Sub-terahertz Frequencies

A comprehensive guide to the cutting edge in microwave engineering.

Semiconductor technology has been an area of enormous growth in recent decades. The 1970 creation of SPICE, an open-source program that simulates the performance of circuit designs, has driven immense innovation in this field, which is a huge part of microwave engineering. No current or aspiring engineer can do without a detailed understanding of semiconductors and other practically implemented circuits.

Transistor Applications from RF to Microwave Frequencies provides this understanding, with a detailed guide to recent advances and novel applications in bipolar transistor design. Its treatment of the application of Meta-Material and oscillators is essential for any engineering professional. Covering a huge range of applications and many different kinds of active mixers, this is a fully up-to-date overview of the state of the art in microwave electronics.

Transistor Applications from RF to Microwave Frequencies readers will also find:

• An author team of decorated microwave engineering experts.
• In-depth discussion of applications including lumped and distributed elements, linear and non-linear noise analysis, and more.
• Detailed examples to facilitate learning.

Transistor Applications from RF to Microwave Frequencies is ideal for all professionals working with microwave engineering, radio frequencies, transistors, and related fields, and for advanced students working towards these professions.
