Nonlinear Microwave Circuits Back by popular demand, this classic text is an excellent resource and time-saver for engineers who need to tackle troublesome nonlinear components in use despite recent advances in microwave technology. Nonlinear Microwave Circuits offers detailed, technically substantial coverage of key methods for the analysis, design, and optimization of nonlinear microwave circuits. It provides in-depth, readable coverage of the underlying theories that guide these methods. This book is replete with practical design information on a wide range of topics:
- Harmonic balance and Voltera Series analysis
- Mixer theory and design
- Frequency multiplier design (active and passive)
- Power amplifiers
- Oscillators
- Low-distortion amplifiers
- And more!
Nonlinear Microwave Circuits will be of interest to graduate engineering students, academics, and anyone involved in microwave circuit design.
About the Author
About the Author Stephen Maas received BSEE and MSEE degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania in 1971 and 1972, respectively, and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1984. Since then, he has been involved in research, design, and development of low-noise and nonlinear microwave circuits and systems at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (where he designed the receivers for the Very Large Array), Hughes Aircraft Co., TRW, the Aerospace Corp., and the UCLA Department of Electrical Engineering. He is now President and Principal Consultant of Nonlinear Technologies, Inc., specializing in the design of low-noise and nonlinear microwave components and systems, and minimization of distortion.
