Nonlinear Microwave and RF Circuits
Stephen A. Maas
Artech House Publishers
This newly and thoroughly revised edition of the 1988  Artech House classic offers you a comprehensive, up-to-date treatment  of nonlinear microwave and RF circuits. It gives you a current,  in-depth understanding of the theory of nonlinear circuit analysis  with a focus on Volterra-series and harmonic-balance methods. You get  practical guidance in designing nonlinear circuits and modeling  solid-state devices for nonlinear circuit analysis by  computer. Moreover, you learn how characteristics of such models  affect the analysis of these circuits.    <P>Critical new topics include microwave heterojunction bipolar  transistors (HBTs), heterojunction FETs (HEMTs), silicon MOSFETs,  modern IC design approaches, new methods of harmonic-balance analysis,  multitone analysis methods, Fourier methods for multitone problems,  and artificial frequency mapping. What’s more, the second edition has  been updated to include discussions on nonlinear analysis of  oscillators and design issues relating to RF and wireless  technology. More than 120 illustrations support key topics throughout  the book.
