Handbook of RF and Microwave Power Amplifiers (The Cambridge RF and Microwave Engineering Series)

Whether you are an RF transistor designer, an amplifier designer or a system designer, this is your one-stop guide to RF and microwave transistor power amplifiers. A team of expert authors brings you up to speed on every topic, including: devices (Si LDMOS and VDMOS, GaAs FETs, GaN HEMTs), circuit and amplifier design (discrete, hybrid and monolithic), CAD, thermal design, reliability, and system applications/requirements for RF and microwave transistor amplifiers. Covering state-of-the-art developments and emphasising practical communications applications, this is the complete professional reference on the subject. Content: 1. Silicon LDMOS and VDMOS transistors: physics, design and technology Wayne Burger and Chris Dragon; 2. GaAs FETs: physics, design and models Rob Davis; 3. Wide band gap transistors -- SiC and GaN: physics, design and models Bob Trew; 4. Amplifier classes, A to S Steve Cripps; 5. Computer-aided design of power amplifiers Steve Maas; 6.
