Overview

This text provides a practical approach to designing RF and microwave amplifiers and oscillators using the iterative synthesis techniques provided. The book introduces approaches to help readers estimate the 1dB compression point of class A and class B linear circuits, initialize the fundamental component voltages and currents in a harmonic balance simulator, and more easily generate load-pull contours for class A and class B transistors. The book also helps readers gain greater insight into the characteristics of single-layer parallel plate capacitors and provide accurate models for them, obtain a clear picture of the stability of each stage in the amplifier and control the output power and oscillation frequency of an oscillator based on linear principles, and design class A high dynamic range amplifiers, multistage power amplifiers, amplifiers with an optimum noise match and a low input VSWR and wideband impedance-matching networks.
