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 …
My published book titled Parameter Extraction and Complex Nonlinear Transistor Models concerns with the following three key topics: Small-signal model parameter extraction Large-signal device modeling Large-signal measurement techniques In my first post, dated December 17, 2019, I explained the limitation of using the standard 15-element FET model for modern high power multifinger GaN devices. Similar …
Many comments and practical tips in my book are from my own experience, especially from my own mistakes. Two such cases are discussed in this blog. Grounding in RF Circuits In Section 8.6 of the book, an effect of the ground via location on signal integrity is discussed for a case where a signal …
What prompted you to write your book? In my EMC/RFI career I have conducted a multitude of inter-system interference studies and analyses, mainly for defense customers. One of my major difficulties was that available RFI calculation techniques and equations in the literature didn’t cover all my needs. Thus, I had to develop them by myself, …
Wired and Wireless Seamless Access Systems for Public Infrastructure by Tetsuya Kawanishi provides comprehensive and detailed information on wired and wireless seamless access systems consisting of a wide variety of transmission media such as microwave, millimeter-wave, THz wave, and lightwave in fibers. The wired and wireless seamless access system can be used in transportation infrastructures, …
