Overview

Designed for use in an undergraduate lecture course of 40 hours plus 20 tutorial hours, this book is concerned with designing circuits and performing measurements at high frequencies up to a few gigahertz. Readers are assumed to have a general knowledge of analogue electronic circuits and basic field theory, although prior knowledge of high frequency circuits is not expected.
