This textbook clearly conveys the fundamentals of RF technology and provides specific descriptions for designing linear components from parts and transmission lines for high-speed and RF circuits. It teaches readers how to model components, synthesize circuits, and optimize them. With the help of freely available simulation software, GHz circuits can be developed independently. Numerous practice examples allow for self-assessment of knowledge. Additionally, the functionalities of complex nonlinear components such as RF mixers, oscillators, and synthesis generators are presented. The new mixed-mode S-parameters and their transmission and circuit techniques for high-speed digital and modern RF applications are described in detail. Systems for the following areas are covered: S-parameter measurement techniques, various radio technologies, UHF RFID, and localization and tracking. This enables readers to develop complex GHz circuits, especially with semiconductor, SMD, and LTCC circuits. The Content • RF fundamentals with clear, practical descriptions to perform circuit design • Basics for precise modeling of RF components • Develop skills for creating linear circuits for different technologies (semiconductor, SMD, and LTCC) • The use of non-linear components and complex integrated circuits such as synthesizers • Learn to model and synthesize linear RF components and RF systems
