This textbook treats the High Frequency Circuit Design from a practical hands-on approach. Almost all subject matters in the book are accompanied by design examples. University students and practicing engineers will find this book both as a potent learning tool and as a reference guide. The textbook introduces techniques that may not be familiar to some engineers. This includes subjects such as the frequent use of the MATLAB Script capability in designing discrete and distributed impedance matching networks. The organization of the book is as follows:In chapter 1, a thorough analysis of RF and microwave concepts and components are presented. Components such as, straight wire, flat ribbon, physical resistors, physical capacitors, and physical inductors are analyzed and their input impedance are simulated.In chapter 2, propagation of the plane waves in different media is introduced. Popular types of transmission lines such as coaxial, microstrip, stripline, and waveguides are defined and their parameters are analyzed. Several transmission line components are modeled and their electrical performance are discussed. Microstrip bias feed and directional couplers are also designed.In Chapter 3, derivation of RF and microwave network parameters, development and use of the network S parameters, and the movement of the lumped and distributed elements on the Smith chart are presented.In the first half of Chapter 4, the subject of series and parallel resonant circuits, the effect of load resistance on the bandwidth, the tuning and optimization of the circuit components, and design of the tapped capacitor and inductor are discussed. In the second half of the chapter, design of the low pass and high pass filters, generation of the physical models, and construction of the filter prototypes are presented.In Chapter 5, the conditions for maximum power transfer and the equations for matching any two impedances with are derived. Both analytical and graphical techniques are used to design narrowband and broadband matching networks. Derivation of equations for the Q factor and the number of L-networks, designing with Q curves on the Smith chart, Fano's limit theorem, and the effect of finite Q on the matching networks are also treated.In Chapter 6, analytic design equations for quarter-wave transformer and single-stub matching networks are derived. Narrowband and broadband distributed matching networks are designed. For the broadband case, the cascaded quarter-wave transformer and the single-stub matching networks are used.In Chapter 7, single-stage amplifiers are designed by utilizing two different impedance matching objectives. The first amplifier is designed for maxim gain where the input and the output are conjugate matched to the source and load impedance; the second amplifier is a low noise amplifier where the transistor is selectively mismatched to achieve a specific Noise Figure;

Unlike many traditional books on RF and microwave engineering written mainly for the classroom teaching, the second edition of the Microwave and RF Engineering book adopts a practical, hands-on approach to quickly introduce both students and practicing engineers to the principals of this important subject.The author make extensive use of the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools in the Keysight Genesys software to illustrate the foundational principles of RF and microwave engineering. The use of the EDA methodologies in the book closely parallels the latest tools and techniques commonly used in industry to accelerate the design of RF and microwave circuits and systems.In general this book provides readers a solid understanding of RF and microwave concepts such as electronic components, Smith chart, S-parameters, transmission lines, impedance matching, resonators, filters and amplifiers. More importantly, it details how the EDA tools are used in the book to analyze, synthesize, simulate, tune, and optimize these essential components into a design flow as practiced in industry. This ensures that the skills learned in this book can be easily and immediately put into practice without the barriers of having to acquire costly and complex EDA tools.The investment in learning the foundational of RF and microwave circuit design skills and the use of Electronic Design Automation techniques taught in this book provide engineers and students with a valuable knowledge that will remain relevant and sought-after for a long time to come.

The Solution Manual for 100 Genesys Design Examples book is mainly written for practicing engineers and university students who know the basic theory of analog RF and microwave engineering and want to apply the theory to the analysis and design of RF and microwave circuits using the Keysight Genesys software. The book is based on the Microwave and RF Engineering textbook written by the author and published in August 2015.Each example has an associated Genesys workspace that is part of the book.The Genesys design examples are divided into 8 chapters as follows. RF and Microwave Components Transmission Line Component Design Network Parameters and the Smith Chart Resonant Circuits and Filter Design Power Transfer and Impedance Matching Distributed Impedance Matching Single Stage Amplifier Design Multi-Stage Amplifier Design
