At Artech House, we ask our authors what problems their books can help readers solve. In this series, we share what our authors aim to do in their writing. Read on to see what Matthew Morgan, who wrote Principles of RF and Microwave Design, has to say about his book: ‘From student to RF circuit …
When Artech House authors write their books, we ask them what they want their readers to get out of the project. In this series, we show you what our authors, in their own words, wish to impart upon readers. Terry Edwards, author of Technologies for RF Systems, describes what his book is about: This comprehensive …
With the recent release Nonlinear Design: FETs and HEMTs, we spoke to Peter Ladbrooke to find out the motivation behind his new book with Artech House. “Nonlinear Design, FETs and HEMTs is a detailed account of how the standard non-linear circuit model of these devices can be reformed to extend its range of validity and …
“There are many good specialized books about various aspects of microwave imaging, but Pastorino and Randazzo believed that an overview of methods and applications could stimulate readers along different directions – novel applications perhaps, or improving the technology in some manner. They cover basic concepts of microwave imaging systems and the electromagnetic characterization of materials, fundamentals …
At Artech House, we ask our authors what problems their books can help readers solve. In this series, we share what our authors aim to do in their writing. Read on to see what Gunter Kompa, who wrote Parameter Extraction and Complex Nonlinear Transistor Models: For the first time it is shown how to treat microwave …
Richard Hoad, who, along with D.V. Giri and Frank Sabath, wrote High-Power Electromagnetic Effects on Electronic Systems, gave us a behind the scenes look at how their book came together: I remember when Dave Giri approached Frank Sabath and I about the idea of writing a book on HPEM effects. We were at a drinks …
Commonly small-signal model parameter extraction of microwave devices with a higher degree of complexity relies on optimization. This is outlined in more detail in my book Parameter Extraction and Complex Nonlinear Transistor Models. There are numerous optimization methods proposed in the literature. Based on a physical device model with a defined number of model elements …
Gilmour Brochure Written by an internationally recognized as an expert on the subject of microwave (MW) tubes, this book presents and describes the many types of microwave tubes, and despite competition from solid-state devices (those using GaN, SiC, et cetera), which continue to be used widely and find new applications in defense, communications, medical, and …
RF and Optical Device Integration There are some things that are obvious to say but are still worth saying and the same principle applies to technical writing; however much the reader knows and understands, every story has to have a starting point. That starting point is often some combination of material and manufacturing innovation that …
Measuring the scattering parameters of a microwave transistor to develop an appropriate small-signal device model, the question may come up about the minimum frequency range needed to extract reliable model parameter values. This issue has been studied intensively for microwave devices based on GaN technology and discussed in detail in my book Parameter Extraction and …
