Introduction to RF Power Amplifier Design and Simulation

This book provides step-by-step guidance for the design of radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers, from analytical formulation to simulation, implementation, and measurement. Demonstrating the use of computer-aided design (CAD) tools, the text explores active device modeling techniques for transistors, parasitic extraction methods for active devices, network and scattering parameters, resonators, power-sensing devices, and RF filter designs for power amplifiers. Featuring numerous illustrations and examples of real-world engineering applications, this book is a valuable resource for the creation of efficient, better-performing, low-profile, high-power RF amplifiers.
