An accessible treatment of radio-frequency and microwave circuits–thoroughly updated and expanded In the areas of telemetry, remote monitoring, remote process control, and most significantly wireless communication, radio-frequency and microwave circuits play an elemental role. As the superior performance of RF circuits over infrared technology becomes increasingly clear, a wide array of applications is emerging, from cordless computer keyboards to cell phones. Now in a comprehensively updated second edition, Radio-Frequency and Microwave Communication Circuits considers circuits within the broad context of communications systems. An ideal entry point for both practicing engineers and students studying or transitioning into the high-tech wireless field, this volume does not require prior in-depth knowledge of electromagnetic fields.
