Steve Marsh: Practical MMIC Design, Gebunden

Klappentext

Fabricating monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) can be high cost and high risk. 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 that practitioners can use everyday to fabricate MMICs to system specifications. More than 100 photos of real MMIC designs show how these design techniques have been successfully implemented in the field.

Practical MMIC Design offers practitioners:

• In-depth information on designing amplifiers, power amplifiers, and millimeter-wave circuits;
• Guidance on selecting the right type of foundry and technology-Si / GaAs or HEMT/HBT-for specific design;
• Real-world insight into component modeling, circuit simulation and layout, and processing and testing;
• A unique look into day-to-day foundry practices and the economics associated with fabricating MMICs.
