H-infinity engineering continues to establish itself as a discipline of applied mathematics. As such, this extensively illustrated monograph makes a significant application of H-infinity theory to electronic amplifier design, demonstrating how recent developments in H-infinity engineering equip amplifier designers with new tools and avenues for research.
The amplification of a weak, noisy, wideband signal is a canonical problem in electrical engineering. Given an amplifier, matching circuits must be designed to maximize gain, minimize noise, and guarantee stability. These competing design objectives constitute a multiobjective optimization problem. Because the matching circuits are H-infinity functions, amplifier design is really a problem in H-infinity multiobjective optimization.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This book deals with the electronic amplifier matching problem and proposes a general approach in the H-infinity framework. Loosely speaking, the design procedure is a multi-objective optimization which simultaneously maximizes the transducer power gain, minimizes the noise figure, and guarantees stability. Basically these objectives are competing, and the book shows how the H-infinity framework provides tools to circumvent this problem.. The book begins with a thorough background on circuit theory, H-infinity and control theory, and then deals with the amplifier matching problem, of which some examples are displayed.. The monograph concludes with a collection of open problems."
