DescriptionBroadband RF and Microwave Amplifiers provides extensive coverage of broadband radio frequency (RF) and microwave power amplifier design, including well-known historical and recent novel schematic configurations, theoretical approaches, circuit simulation results, and practical implementation strategies. The text begins by introducing two-port networks to illustrate the behavior of linear and nonlinear circuits, explaining the basic principles of power amplifier design, and discussing impedance matching and broadband power amplifier design using lumped and distributed parameters. The book then:Shows how dissipative or lossy gain-compensation-matching circuits can offer an important trade-off between power gain, reflection coefficient, and operating frequency bandwidthDescribes the design of broadband RF and microwave amplifiers using real frequency techniques (RFTs), supplying numerous examples based on the MATLAB® programming processExamines Class-E power amplifiers, Doherty amplifiers, low-noise amplifiers, microwave gallium arsenide field-effect transistor (GaAs FET)-distributed amplifiers, and complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) amplifiers for ultra-wideband (UWB) applicationsBroadband RF and Microwave Amplifiers combines theoretical analysis with practical design to create a solid foundation for innovative ideas and circuit design techniques.Table of ContentsTwo-Port Network ParametersTraditional Network ParametersScattering ParametersConversions between Two-Port ParametersInterconnections of Two-Port NetworksPractical Two-Port NetworksThree-Port Network with Common TerminalLumped ElementsTransmission LineNoise FigureReferencesPower Amplifier Design PrinciplesBasic Classes of Operation: A, AB, B, and CLoad Line and Output ImpedanceNonlinear Active Device ModelsPower Gain and StabilityPush–Pull and Balanced Power AmplifiersTransmission-Line Transformers and CombinersReferencesLossless Matched Broadband Power AmplifiersImpedance MatchingBode–Fano CriterionBroadband-Matching Networks with Lumped ElementsBroadband-Matching Networks with Mixed Lumped and Distributed ElementsMatching Networks with Transmission LinesMatching Technique with Prescribed Amplitude–Frequency ResponsePractical Examples of Broadband RF and Microwave Power AmplifiersBroadband Millimeter-Wave Power AmplifiersReferencesLossy Matched and Feedback Broadband Power AmplifiersAmplifiers with Lossy Compensation NetworksFeedback AmplifiersGraphical Design of Gain-Compensating and Feedback Lossy NetworksDecomposition Synthesis MethodReferencesDesign of Wideband RF and Microwave Amplifiers Employing Real Frequency TechniquesReal Frequency Line Segment TechniqueGeneration of Minimum Immittance Function from Its Real PartOptimization of TPG Using a Parametric ApproachHigh-Precision Ladder Synthesis of Positive Real FunctionsAutomated Real Frequency Design of Lossless Two-Ports for Single Matching ProblemsComputation of Actual ElementsAutomated Design of Matching Networks with Lumped ElementsDesign of Interstage Equalizers: Double Matching ProblemMatching Networks Constructed with Commensurate Transmission LinesGeneration of Realizable Positive Real Function in Richards’s DomainIntegration of Richards’s High-Precision Synthesis Module with Real Frequency Matching AlgorithmSRFTs to Design RF and Microwave AmplifiersSRFT to Design Microwave AmplifiersSRFT Single-Stage Microwave Amplifier Design AlgorithmDesign of an Ultra-Wideband Microwave Amplifier Using Commensurate Transmission LinesPhysical Realization of Characteristic ImpedancePractical Design of Matching Networks with Mixed Lumped and Distributed ElementsPhysical Realization of a Single InductorAppendicesReferencesHigh-Efficiency Broadband Class-E Power AmplifiersReactance Compensation TechniqueHigh-Efficiency Switching Class-E ModesBroadband Class E with Shunt CapacitanceBroadband Parallel-Circuit Class EHigh-Power RF Class-E Power AmplifiersMicrowave Monolithic Class-E Power AmplifiersCMOS Class-E Power AmplifiersReferencesBroadband and Multiband Doherty AmplifiersHistorical Aspect and Conventional Doherty ArchitecturesInverted Doherty AmplifiersIntegrationDigitally-Driven Doherty AmplifierMultiband and Broadband CapabilityReferencesLow-Noise Broadband AmplifiersBasic Principles of Low-Noise Amplifier DesignLossless Matched Broadband Low-Noise AmplifiersLossy Feedback Broadband Low-Noise AmplifiersCascode Broadband Low-Noise AmplifiersGraphical Design TechniqueBroadband Millimeter-Wave Low-Noise AmplifiersReferencesDistributed AmplifiersBasic Principles of Distributed AmplificationMicrowave GaAs FET Distributed AmplifiersCascode Distributed AmplifiersExtended Resonance TechniqueCascaded Distributed AmplifiersMatrix Distributed AmplifiersCMOS Distributed AmplifiersNoise in Distributed AmplifiersReferencesCMOS Amplifiers for UWB ApplicationsUWB Transceiver ArchitecturesDistributed CMOS AmplifiersCommon-Gate CMOS AmplifiersCMOS Amplifiers with Lossy Compensation CircuitsFeedback CMOS AmplifiersNoise-Canceling TechniqueReferencesAuthor(s) DescriptionAndrei Grebennikov earned his engineering diploma in radio electronics from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Russia, and his Ph.D in radio engineering from the Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics, Russia.Narendra Kumar earned his Ph.D in electrical engineering from RWTH Aachen University, Germany.
