and major terminologies including failure rate and mission profile are
discussed. System sensitivity to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and
extremely sensitive electrostatic discharge (EESD), a serious issue
concerning modern ICs are explained. A very powerful model is developed
to analyze sensitivity of electronic devices and components to ESD and
EESD. Methods of sensitivity mitigations are explored and offered.
System requirements for power amplifiers in terms of output power, gain,
linearity, efficiency, and power dissipation are studied for most
important classification of power amplifiers including Class A, B, C,
and D. Reliability of power amplifiers are also addressed. Mixer spurs,
a serious issue potentially limiting performance of a mixer and the
entire RF system, is explored analytically and with the aid of open
source software. Finally, intermodulation distortion in multicarrier
systems is explained, and noise power ratio (NPR) as a powerful test for
performance evaluation of these systems is introduced. New trends in
modern integrated circuit design and high frequency trends including
RF/Photonic applications in microwave engineering are introduced and
discussed. In general, passive microwave engineering is covered in
chapters 1 through 7. Specific guidelines are provided, through
examples, to design various transmission lines and completion of
physical design. Two chapters (8 and 9) are focus of extensive active RF
and microwave circuit design.
