Provides practical examples of circuit design and analysis using
PSpice, MATLAB, and the Smith Chart
This book presents the three technologies used to deal with electronic
circuits: MATLAB, PSpice, and Smith chart. It gives students,
researchers, and practicing engineers the necessary design and modelling
tools for validating electronic design concepts involving bipolar
junction transistors (BJTs), field-effect transistors (FET), OP Amp
circuits, and analog filters.
Electronic Circuits with MATLAB(R), PSpice(R), and Smith Chart
presents analytical solutions with the results of MATLAB analysis and
PSpice simulation. This gives the reader information about the state of
the art and confidence in the legitimacy of the solution, as long as the
solutions obtained by using the two software tools agree with each
other. For representative examples of impedance matching and filter
design, the solution using MATLAB and Smith chart (Smith V4.1) are
presented for comparison and crosscheck. This approach is expected to
give the reader confidence in, and a deeper understanding of, the
solution. In addition, this text:
- Increases the reader's understanding of the underlying processes and
related equations for the design and analysis of circuits
- Provides a stepping stone to RF (radio frequency) circuit design by
demonstrating how MATLAB can be used for the design and implementation
of microstrip filters
- Features two chapters dedicated to the application of Smith charts and
two-port network theory
Electronic Circuits with MATLAB(R), PSpice(R), and Smith Chart will be
of great benefit to practicing engineers and graduate students
interested in circuit theory and RF circuits.
