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, …
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. Mouqun Dong, author of RF Circuits and Applications for Practicing Engineers, describes what his book is …
Artech House is pleased to announce the publications of three titles in February 2021. Electromagnetic Diffraction Modeling and Simulation with MATLAB Gökhan Apaydin, Levent Sevgi This exciting new resource presents a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of diffraction of two-dimensional canonical structures, including wedge, strip, and triangular cylinder with different boundary conditions. Maxwell equations are discussed, …
Problem Solving 101 with Howard Hausman – Speeding the Design of Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPA)
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 find out what Howard Hausman, who wrote Microwave Power Amplifier Design with MMIC Modules had to say: What are some problems your book can …
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 find out what Terry Edwards, who wrote Technologies for RF Systems had to say: What are some problems your book can help readers …
