RF and Microwave Circuit Design is a comprehensive and up-to-date resource that delves into the fundamentals of high-frequency microwave technology. Written by two renowned experts in the field, this textbook offers a authoritative and practical introduction to basic RF and microwave circuits.

With an emphasis on real-world examples, the text explains how distributed circuits using microstrip and other planar transmission lines can be designed and fabricated for use in modern high-frequency passive and active circuits and sub-systems. The authors provide clear and accurate guidance on each essential aspect of circuit design, from the theory of transmission lines to the passive and active circuits that form the basis of modern high-frequency circuits and sub-systems.

Assuming a basic grasp of electronic concepts, the book is organized around first principles and includes an extensive set of worked examples to guide student readers with no prior grounding in the subject of high-frequency microwave technology. Throughout the text, detailed coverage of practical design using distributed circuits demonstrates the influence of modern fabrication processes.

Filling a significant gap in literature by addressing RF and microwave circuit design with a central theme of planar distributed circuits, this textbook provides a comprehensive discussion of the foundational concepts of RF and microwave transmission lines. It explores wave propagation along a typical transmission line, describing fabrication processes for RF and microwave circuits, including etched, thick-film, and thin-film RF circuits. Additionally, it covers the Smith Chart and its application in circuit design, S-parameters, Mason's non-touching loop rule, transducer power gain, and more.

By presenting a holistic approach to RF and microwave circuit design, RF and Microwave Circuit Design serves as a valuable resource for electrical engineering students, researchers, and professionals seeking to advance their knowledge and expertise in this field. Its comprehensive coverage, practical examples, and clear explanations make it an essential tool for anyone interested in designing and implementing high-frequency circuits and systems.
