Design of RF and Microwave Amplifiers and Oscillators, Second Edition

The design of amplifiers and oscillators is an essential activity of electrical engineers whose work involves microwave and RF components and systems. This newly revised edition of the classic book, "Design of RF and Microwave Amplifiers and Oscillators" (Artech House, 1999) offers a comprehensive and current treatment of the subject. This popular resource has been updated to include expanded derivations and problem sets, helping to make the material even more accessible and easier to master. The second edition adds critical coverage hot topics, including nodal analysis and derivation of the power parameters for simple FET and bipolar transistors. Practitioners also get new a brand new chapter on wideband distributed amplifier design, more focus on power amplifiers, and new tables of network elements for resistive matching networks over various passbands.
