The Rf And Microwave Circuit Design Cookbook »

Stephen Maas is president of Nonlinear Technologies, Inc., California, a high-tech consulting company specializing in the design and analysis of nonlinear and low-noise RF/microwave components and systems. He earned his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from UCLA.

Using a lively, easy-to-read style, The RF and Microwave Circuit Design Cookbook reveals practical, tested methods for designing and implementing a wide range of nonlinear RF and microwave circuits, including all types of mixers, frequency multipliers, and more. A special feature is a complete treatment of FET resistive mixers, which offer the lowest intermodulation distortion of all types of mixers. This book also provides readers with hard-to-find information on creating both square law and envelope diode detectors.
