This newly and thoroughly revised edition of the 1988 Artech
House classic offers you a comprehensive, up-to-date treatment of nonlinear
microwave and RF circuits. It gives you a current, in-depth understanding of
the theory of nonlinear circuit analysis with a focus on Volterra-series and
harmonic-balance methods. You get practical guidance in designing nonlinear
circuits and modeling solid-state devices for nonlinear circuit analysis by
computer. Moreover, you learn how characteristics of such models affect the
analysis of these circuits.
Critical new topics include microwave heterojunction bipolar
transistors (HBTs), heterojunction FETs (HEMTs), silicon MOSFETs, modern IC
design approaches, new methods of harmonic-balance analysis, multitone analysis
methods, Fourier methods for multitone problems, and artificial frequency mapping.
What’s more, the second edition has been updated to include discussions on nonlinear
analysis of oscillators and design issues relating to RF and wireless technology.
More than 120 illustrations support key topics throughout the book.
