`
`Preface
`
`The book series Microwave and RF Design is a comprehensive treatment
`of radio frequency (RF) and microwave design with a modern “systems-
`first” approach. A strong emphasis on design permeates the series with
`extensive case studies and design examples. Design is oriented towards
`cellular communications and microstrip design so that lessons learned can
`be applied to real-world design tasks. The books in the Microwave and RF
`Design series are:
`• Microwave and RF Design: Radio Systems, Volume 1
`• Microwave and RF Design: Transmission Lines, Volume 2
`• Microwave and RF Design: Networks, Volume 3
`• Microwave and RF Design: Modules, Volume 4
`• Microwave and RF Design: Amplifiers and Oscillators, Volume 5
`
`The length and format of each is suitable for automatic printing and binding.
`
`Rationale
`
`The central philosophy behind this series’s popular approach is that the
`student or practicing engineer will develop a full appreciation for RF and
`microwave engineering and gain the practical skills to perform system-
`level design decisions. Now more than ever companies need engineers with
`an ingrained appreciation of systems and armed with the skills to make
`system decisions. One of the greatest challenges facing RF and microwave
`engineering is the increasing level of abstraction needed to create innovative
`microwave and RF systems. This book series is organized in such a way that
`the reader comes to understand the impact that system-level decisions have
`on component and subsystem design. At the same time, the capabilities of
`technologies, components, and subsystems impact system design. The book
`series is meticulously crafted to intertwine these themes.
`
`Audience
`
`The book series was originally developed for three courses at North
`Carolina State University. One is a final-year undergraduate class, another an
`introductory graduate class, and the third an advanced graduate class. Books
`in the series are used as supplementary texts in two other classes. There
`are extensive case studies, examples, and end of chapter problems ranging
`from straight-forward to in-depth problems requiring hours to solve. A
`companion book, Fundamentals of Microwave and RF Design, is more suitable
`for an undergraduate class yet there is a direct linkage between the material
`in this book and the series which can then be used as a career-long reference
`text. I believe it is completely understandable for senior-level students
`where a microwave/RF engineering course is offered. The book series is a
`comprehensive RF and microwave text and reference, with detailed index,
`appendices, and cross-references throughout. Practicing engineers will find
`the book series a valuable systems primer, a refresher as needed, and a
`
`

`
`reference tool in the field. Additionally, it can serve as a valuable, accessible
`resource for those outside RF circuit engineering who need to understand
`how they can work with RF hardware engineers.
`
`Organization
`This book is a volume in a five volume series on RF and microwave
`design. The first volume in the series, Microwave and RF Design: Radio
`Systems, addresses radio systems mainly following the evolution of cellular
`radio. A central aspect of microwave engineering is distributed effects
`considered in the second volume of this book series, Microwave and RF
`Design: Transmission Lines. Here transmission lines are treated as supporting
`forward- and backward-traveling voltage and current waves and these
`are related to electromagnetic effects. The third volume, Microwave and RF
`Design: Networks, covers microwave network theory which is the theory
`that describes power flow and can be used with transmission line effects.
`Topics covered in Microwave and RF Design: Modules, focus on designing
`microwave circuits and systems using modules introducing a large number
`of different modules. Modules is just another term for a network but the
`implication is that is is packaged and often available off-the-shelf. Other
`topics that are important in system design using modules are considered
`including noise, distortion, and dynamic range. Most microwave and RF
`designers construct systems using modules developed by other engineers
`who specialize in developing the modules. Examples are filter and amplifier
`modules which once designed can be used in many different systems. Much
`of microwave design is about maximizing dynamic range, minimizing noise,
`and minimizing DC power consumption. The fifth volume in this series,
`Microwave and RF Design: Amplifiers and Oscillators, considers amplifier and
`oscillator design and develops the skills required to develop modules.
`
`Volume 1: Microwave and RF Design: Radio Systems
`
`The first book of the series covers RF systems. It describes system concepts
`and provides comprehensive knowledge of RF and microwave systems.
`The emphasis is on understanding how systems are crafted from many
`different technologies and concepts. The reader gains valuable insight into
`how different technologies can be traded off in meeting system requirements.
`I do not believe this systems presentation is available anywhere else in such
`a compact form.
`
`Volume 2: Microwave and RF Design: Transmission Lines
`
`This book begins with a chapter on transmission line theory and introduces
`the concepts of forward- and backward-traveling waves. Many examples are
`included of advanced techniques for analyzing and designing transmission
`line networks. This is followed by a chapter on planar transmission lines
`with microstrip lines primarily used in design examples. Design examples
`illustrate some of the less quantifiable design decisions that must be made.
`The next chapter describes frequency-dependent transmission line effects
`and describes the design choices that must be taken to avoid multimoding.
`The final chapter in this volume addresses coupled-lines. It is shown how to
`design coupled-line networks that exploit this distributed effect to realize
`novel circuit functionality and how to design networks that minimize
`negative effects. The modern treatment of transmission lines in this volume
`emphasizes planar circuit design and the practical aspects of designing
`
`

`
`around unwanted effects. Detailed design of a directional coupler is used
`to illustrate the use of coupled lines. Network equivalents of coupled lines
`are introduced as fundamental building blocks that are used later in the
`synthesis of coupled-line filters. The text, examples, and problems introduce
`the often hidden design requirements of designing to mitigate parasitic
`effects and unwanted modes of operation.
`
`Volume 3: Microwave and RF Design: Networks
`Volume 3 focuses on microwave networks with descriptions based on S
`parameters and ABCD matrices, and the representation of reflection and
`transmission information on polar plots called Smith charts. Microwave
`measurement and calibration technology are examined. A sampling of
`the wide variety of microwave elements based on transmission lines is
`presented. It is shown how many of these have lumped-element equivalents
`and how lumped elements and transmission lines can be combined as a
`compromise between the high performance of transmission line structures
`and the compactness of lumped elements. This volume concludes with an
`in-depth treatment of matching for maximum power transfer. Both lumped-
`element and distributed-element matching are presented.
`
`Volume 4: Microwave and RF Design: Modules
`
`Volume 4 focuses on the design of systems based on microwave modules.
`The book considers the wide variety of RF modules including amplifiers,
`local oscillators, switches, circulators, isolators, phase detectors, frequency
`multipliers and dividers, phase-locked loops, and direct digital synthesizers.
`The use of modules has become increasingly important in RF and microwave
`engineering. A wide variety of passive and active modules are available
`and high-performance systems can be realized cost effectively and with
`stellar performance by using off-the-shelf modules interconnected using
`planar transmission lines. Module vendors are encouraged by the market
`to develop competitive modules that can be used in a wide variety of
`applications. The great majority of RF and microwave engineers either
`develop modules or use modules to realize RF systems. Systems must also
`be concerned with noise and distortion, including distortion that originates
`in supposedly linear elements. Something as simple as a termination
`can produce distortion called passive intermodulation distortion. Design
`techniques are presented for designing cascaded systems while managing
`noise and distortion. Filters are also modules and general filter theory is
`covered and the design of parallel coupled line filters is presented in detail.
`Filter design is presented as a mixture of art and science. This mix, and the
`thought processes involved, are emphasized through the design of a filter
`integrated throughout this chapter.
`
`Volume 5: Microwave and RF Design: Amplifiers and Oscillators
`
`The fifth volume presents the design of amplifiers and oscillators in
`a way that enables state-of-the-art designs to be developed. Detailed
`strategies for amplifiers and voltage-controlled oscillators are presented.
`Design of competitive microwave amplifiers and oscillators are particularly
`challenging as many trade-offs are required in design, and the design
`decisions cannot be reduced to a formulaic flow. Very detailed case studies
`are presented and while some may seem quite complicated, they parallel the
`level of sophistication required to develop competitive designs.

`
`Case Studies
`
`A key feature of this book series is the use of real world case studies
`of leading edge designs. Some of the case studies are designs done in
`my research group to demonstrate design techniques resulting in leading
`performance. The case studies and the persons responsible for helping to
`develop them are as follows.
`1. Software defined radio transmitter.
`2. High dynamic range down converter design. This case study was
`developed with Alan Victor.
`3. Design of a third-order Chebyshev combline filter. This case study was
`developed with Wael Fathelbab.
`4. Design of a bandstop filter. This case study was developed with Wael
`Fathelbab.
`5. Tunable Resonator with a varactor diode stack. This case study was
`developed with Alan Victor.
`6. Analysis of a 15 GHz Receiver. This case study was developed with
`Alan Victor.
`7. Transceiver Architecture. This case study was developed with Alan
`Victor.
`8. Narrowband linear amplifier design. This case study was developed
`with Dane Collins and National Instruments Corporation.
`9. Wideband Amplifier Design. This case study was developed with Dane
`Collins and National Instruments Corporation.
`10. Distributed biasing of differential amplifiers. This case study was
`developed with Wael Fathelbab.
`11. Analysis of a distributed amplifier. This case study was developed with
`Ratan Bhatia, Jason Gerber, Tony Kwan, and Rowan Gilmore.
`12. Design of a WiMAX power amplifier. This case study was developed
`with Dane Collins and National Instruments Corporation.
`13. Reflection oscillator. This case study was developed with Dane Collins
`and National Instruments Corporation.
`14. Design of a C-Band VCO. This case study was developed with Alan
`Victor.
`15. Oscillator phase noise analysis. This case study was developed with
`Dane Collins and National Instruments Corporation.
`Many of these case studies are available as captioned YouTube videos and
`qualified instructors can request higher resolution videos from the author.
`
`Course Structures
`
`Based on the adoption of the first and second editions at universities,
`several different university courses have been developed using various parts
`of what was originally one very large book. The book supports teaching
`two or three classes with courses varying by the selection of volumes
`and chapters. A standard microwave class following the format of earlier
`microwave texts can be taught using the second and third volumes. Such
`a course will benefit from the strong practical design flavor and modern
`treatment of measurement technology, Smith charts, and matching networks.
`Transmission line propagation and design is presented in the context of
`microstrip technology providing an immediately useful skill. The subtleties
`of multimoding are also presented in the context of microstrip lines. In such
`
`
`
`PREFACE
`
`ix
`
`a class the first volume on microwave systems can be assigned for self-
`learning.
`Another approach is to teach a course that focuses on transmission line
`effects including parallel coupled-line filters and module design. Such a class
`would focus on Volumes 2, 3 and 4. A filter design course would focus
`on using Volume 4 on module design. A course on amplifier and oscillator
`design would use Volume 5. This course is supported by a large number of
`case studies that present design concepts that would otherwise be difficult to
`put into the flow of the textbook.
`Another option suited to an undergraduate or introductory graduate class
`is to teach a class that enables engineers to develop RF and microwave
`systems. This class uses portions of Volumes 2, 3 and 4. This class then omits
`detailed filter, amplifier, and oscillator design.
`The fundamental philosophy behind the book series is that the broader
`impact of the material should be presented first. Systems should be discussed
`up front and not left as an afterthought for the final chapter of a textbook, the
`last lecture of the semester, or the last course of a curriculum.
`The book series is written so that all electrical engineers can gain an
`appreciation of RF and microwave hardware engineering. The body of the
`text can be covered without strong reliance on this electromagnetic theory,
`but it is there for those who desire it for teaching or reader review. The book
`is rich with detailed information and also serves as a technical reference.
`
`The Systems Engineer
`
`Systems are developed beginning with fuzzy requirements for components
`and subsystems. Just as system requirements provide impetus to develop
`new base technologies, the development of new technologies provides new
`capabilities that drive innovation and new systems. The new capabilities
`may arise from developments made in support of other systems. Sometimes
`serendipity leads to the new capabilities. Creating innovative microwave
`and RF systems that address market needs or provide for new opportunities
`is the most exciting challenge in RF design. The engineers who can
`conceptualize and architect new RF systems are in great demand. This book
`began as an effort to train RF systems engineers and as an RF systems
`resource for practicing engineers. Many RF systems engineers began their
`careers when systems were simple. Today, appreciating a system requires
`higher levels of abstraction than in the past, but it also requires detailed
`knowledge or the ability to access detailed knowledge and expertise. So what
`makes a systems engineer? There is not a simple answer, but many partial
`answers. We know that system engineers have great technical confidence and
`broad appreciation for technologies. They are both broad in their knowledge
`of a large swath of technologies and also deep in knowledge of a few
`areas, sometimes called the “T” model. One book or course will not make
`a systems engineer. It is clear that there must be a diverse set of experiences.
`This book series fulfills the role of fostering both high-level abstraction of
`RF engineering and also detailed design skills to realize effective RF and
`microwave modules. My hope is that this book will provide the necessary
`background for the next generation of RF systems engineers by stressing
`system principles immediately, followed by core RF technologies. Core
`technologies are thereby covered within the context of the systems in which
`they are used.
