MICROWAVE INTEGRATED CIRCUIT COMPONENTS DESIGN THROUGH MATLAB(R)
This book teaches the student community microwave integrated circuit
component design through MATLAB(R), helping the reader to become
conversant in using codes and, thereafter, commercial software for
verification purposes only. Microwave circuit theory and its
comparisons, transmission line networks, S-parameters, ABCD parameters,
basic design parameters of planar transmission lines (striplines,
microstrips, slot lines, coplanar waveguides, finlines), filter theory,
Smith chart, inverted Smith chart, stability circles, noise figure
circles and microwave components, are thoroughly explained in the book.
The chapters are planned in such a way that readers get a thorough
understanding to ensure expertise in design. Aimed at senior
undergraduates, graduates and researchers in electrical engineering,
electromagnetics, microwave circuit design and communications
engineering, this book:
- Explains basic tools for design and analysis of microwave circuits
such as the Smith chart and network parameters
- Gives the advantage of realizing the output without wiring the
circuit by simulating through MATLAB code
- Compares distributed theory with network theory
- Includes microwave components, filters and amplifiers
S. Raghavan was a Senior Professor (HAG) in the Department of
Electronics and Communication Engineering, National Institute of
Technology (NIT), Trichy, India and has 39 years of teaching and
research experience at the Institute. His interests include: microwave
integrated circuits, RF MEMS, Bio MEMS, metamaterial, frequency
