Practical MMIC Design

Author
Steve Marsh

Fabricating MMICs can be high cost and high risk. Because you cannot know if MMICs were fabricated to spec until the fabrication process is completed, cost can easily rise. Design is key to ensuring correct fabrication, minimizing costs, and reducing refabrication. This practical volume is filled with hands-on design techniques and rules of thumb you can use everyday to fabricate MMICs to system specification.

Analysis and Design of Autonomous Microwave Circuits

Author
Almudena Suarez

Presents simulation techniques that substantially increase designers' control over the oscillationin autonomous circuits This book facilitates a sound understanding of the free-running oscillation mechanism, the start-up from the noise level, and the establishment of the steady-state oscillation. It deals with the operation principles and main characteristics of free-running and injection-locked oscillators, coupled oscillators, and parametric frequency dividers. 

Free Access without Logins

News update! We are no longer requiring logins to access the free Smith Chart and Reflectometer web apps on RFMentor.com!

We are working on updating our login system to work more smoothly for our RF Mentor Academy users. As part of this transition, we are no longer requiring users to have an account to access the web apps on RFMentor.com. You can still log in if you wish to comment, but it is no longer necessary to simply use the apps.

Look for more news regarding the Smith Chart app in the near future!

 

Website Updates Coming

Submitted by rfrobenius on

We're going to be making some minor changes to the site soon. Look for a new streamlined menu along with better descriptions of our most popular calculators and other resources. We'll also be increasing our emphasis on providing information about training opportunities and making access to online training as convenient as possible. Our RF Mentor Academy site allows you to use your existing login to purchase online training and start right away - look for updates to that site as well. The academy site is also home to our new subscription training program.

Calculators Maintenance Update

Submitted by rfrobenius on

I've done some updates to a couple of calculators on the site. The Animated Reflectometer HTML5 version had a bug where the animation would be drawn with the wrong sign for values entered into the load impedance (ZL) field. The displayed numerical results were correct, but the animation would demonstrate an open circuit condition if you entered zero impedance for the load, instead of displaying a shorted condition. This has been fixed now.
