Microwave and RF Design: A Systems Approach

Based on a course at North Carolina State University, Microwave and RF Design: A Systems Approach is a comprehensive introduction to RF and microwave design but with a modern "systems-first" approach. Now more than ever, companies need engineers with an ingrained appreciation of systems and armed with the skills to make system decisions. This book is meticulously crafted to so the student (or new engineer) understands the impact that system-level decisions have on component and subsystem design and vice versa. The book was developed not only with the ideas and suggestions of professionals in academia and industry, but also on the comments of nearly 1,000 electrical engineering graduate students who have used drafts of this book.
