Microwave and RF Design is a comprehensive introduction to RF and microwave design with a asystems firsta approach. System needs drive component and subsystem requirements. Similarly technology innovation enables new innovative system solution. This book presents a systems first approach to RF engineering design so that the reader learns to appreciate RF and microwave technology and design from this market-driven perspective. The book is organized around three modules that are largely independent but do build on each other and are best taught in sequence. First the System Module describes system concepts and provides comprehensive knowledge of RF and microwave systems. The System Module provides the rational for design choices. The Distribute Component Module shows in its four chapters how distributed effects are the basis of a large variety of microwave and RF components that are not available at lower frequencies. The Coupled Structure and Matching Module examines coupling effects of parallel lines and utilizes the knowledge gained in the design of microwave filters. Design examples are used throughout the book, and many of them incorporate design tradeoffs that are only appreciated in the context of a specific design. The book is also characterized by design emphasis with discussion of manufacturability and practical design decisions.
