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.
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.
We are excited to announce that our Impedance Matching course is now available on Udemy. Udemy is a "learning aggregation" site offering courses from many different sources. They accept payments in local currencies from around the world, making it easier to sign up for the course, especially if you already have an account with them.
It has been a little while, but the RF Mentor site has finally gotten some much needed updates.
Based on Les Besser's famous RF course material, this program has been reworked and updated to meet the needs of today's engineers looking for online self-paced study. Video lectures are followed by our exclusive online workbooks featuring interactive problem sets and quizzes along with optional supplemental reading for those who wish to explore topics in more depth. This course is the first part of an RF Engineering Certificate program currently under development by Besser Associates.
A helpful article from In-Compliance magazine describing the practical implications of skin effect on product design, particularly sheilding.
Understanding skin effect and surface currents saves us a lot of time and cost in the design of our product’s shielding and filtering, especially for tough EMC standards such as automotive, military or aerospace. It also helps us to more quickly achieve many other issues in cost-effective EMC design.
