A thoroughly practical guide to understanding and applying radio-frequency electronic design techniques, this book puts at your fingertips all the hard-to-find information you need to traslate RF theory into functioning hardware. Packed with examples taken from real-world applications, Practical RF Power Design Techniques helps make the theory behind RF circuit design and operation easier to understand. It includes detailed coverage of:
- The bipolar transistor in RF power applications
- The field-effect transistor in RF power applications
- Impedance-matching networks
- Applications of transmission-line elements to RF power circuitry
- Low-,medium-, and high-power applications
- Standing-wave ratio and related controversies
