Passive RF & Microwave Integrated Circuits (Hardcover)

Description:

The growth in RF and wireless/mobile computing devices that operate at microwave frequencies has resulted in explosive demand for integrated circuits capable of operating at such frequencies in order to accomplish functions like frequency division, phase shifting, attenuation, and isolators and circulators for antennas. This book is an introduction to such ICs, combining theory and practical applications of those devices. In addition to this combined theory and application approach, the author discusses the critical importance of differing fabrication materials on the performance of ICs at different frequencies. This is an area often overlooked when choosing ICs for RF and microwave applications, yet it can be a crucial factor in how an IC performs in a given application.

描述：
無線射頻和無線/移動計算設備在微波頻率下的增長，導致對能夠在這些頻率下運行的集成電路的爆炸性需求，以完成頻率分割、相位移動、衰減、天線的隔離器和循環器等功能。本書介紹了這些集成電路的理論和實際應用，並討論了不同製造材料對不同頻率下集成電路性能的重要性。在選擇用於射頻和微波應用的集成電路時，這個領域通常被忽視，然而它可能是影響集成電路在特定應用中表現的關鍵因素。
