Description
Introduction to RF Power Amplifier Design and Simulation fills a gap in the existing literature by providing step-by-step guidance for the design of radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers, from analytical formulation to simulation, implementation, and measurement. Featuring numerous illustrations and examples of real-world engineering applications, this book:
Gives an overview of intermodulation and elaborates on the difference between linear and nonlinear amplifiers
Describes the high-frequency model and transient characteristics of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors
Details active device modeling techniques for transistors and parasitic extraction methods for active devices
Explores network and scattering parameters, resonators, matching networks, and tools such as the Smith chart
Covers power-sensing devices including four-port directional couplers and new types of reflectometers
Presents RF filter designs for power amplifiers as well as application examples of special filter types
Demonstrates the use of computer-aided design (CAD) tools, implementing systematic design techniques
Blending theory with practice, Introduction to RF Power Amplifier Design and Simulation supplies engineers, researchers, and RF/microwave engineering students with a valuable resource for the creation of efficient, better-performing, low-profile, high-power RF amplifiers.

Reviews / Votes
"Modern curriculum developments over the last decade, has tended towards favoring digital aspects of RF engineering, with the result that the difficult area of RF analog design has suffered subsequently. This book addresses this issue very clearly by using many design examples making a difficult subject much more accessible to students and professionals alike."-Paul Tobin, Dublin Institute of Technology
"A very comprehensive treatment with an excellent use of examples to explain the workings and theory of RF amplifiers."
-Tony Harris, Electronics & Innovation, Ltd.
"The author has many years of experience working in the RF industry as well as teaching the RF courses at IUPU Fort Wayne. This book is a culmination of his extensive work in the RF Power Amplifier. The book blends the theory with practice very well and presents the challenging subject in a clear and understandable manner. The treatment of the RF systems in this book makes it well suited to be the textbook for senior undergraduate or beginning graduate courses in RF Systems. It is also an excellent resource for practicing engineers."-Jay K. Lee, Syracuse University, Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, New York
"The book is truly written for the RF power amplifier designer and students alike. The content is just at the right level, and the examples are very helpful and easy to apply to practical design work. The color graphs, charts, and pictures are excellent." -IEEE Microwave Magazine, May 2016
