Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
A dramatic shift is underway in the electronics design and test industry. Traditionally, a design flow has been pretty linear: measure components and create models; use the models to design and simulate a circuit; then test the prototype. Each stage is separate and distinct. But we are headed toward a revolution to this traditional flow towards one that will require an entirely new level of integration to design and verify the new systems of the future. Design engineers will need to understand simulation software even more, as design will be inextricably connected with test in the future. This guide, the ADS Example Book: Focused on RF and Microwave Design is great for students, professors, and working engineers who want to learn RF and microwave design skills to keep up with the industry trend toward increasing use of simulation. It was written by engineers at Keysight Technologies.Great for beginners, the step-by-step screenshots demonstrate how to get started using Advanced Design System (ADS) without assuming any prior experience. After completing these demos, you will be able to: build your own Electromagnetic Simulation (EM); be able to use the ADS built-in Smith Chart for impedance matching; learn how to work with the ADS 3D substrate viewer to construct your substrate layers; work your way through the examples to design an amplifier and/or an active mixer. You can also learn how to tune and optimize your design, become familiar with ADS libraries, and quickly add components to your design.This book is 176 pages and contains 10 demo guides. Each guide is independent of the others, so it's easy to jump right into your topic of interest.Getting Started with ADSTuning and OptimizationHarmonic Balance SimulationPlanar Electromagnetic (EM) Simulation in ADSRF System DesignMicrowave Discrete and Microstrip Filter DesignDiscrete and Microstrip Coupler DesignMicrostrip and CPW Power Divider DesignMicrowave Amplifier Design and Smith Chart Utility for Z matching Network Active Mixer Design

Switchmode RF and Microwave Power Amplifiers, Third Edition is an essential reference book on developing RF and microwave switchmode power amplifiers. The book combines theoretical discussions with practical examples, allowing readers to design high-efficiency RF and microwave power amplifiers on different types of bipolar and field-effect transistors, design any type of high-efficiency switchmode power amplifiers operating in Class D or E at lower frequencies and in Class E or F and their subclasses at microwave frequencies with specified output power, also providing techniques on how to design multiband and broadband Doherty amplifiers using different bandwidth extension techniques and implementation technologies. This book provides the necessary information to understand the theory and practical implementation of load-network design techniques based on lumped and transmission-line elements. It brings a unique focus on switchmode RF and microwave power amplifiers that are widely used in cellular/wireless, satellite and radar communication systems which offer major power consumption savings. - Provides a complete history of high-efficiency Class E and Class F techniques - Presents a new chapter on Class E with shunt capacitance and shunt filter to simplify the design of high-efficiency power amplifier with broader frequency bandwidths - Covers different Doherty architectures, including integrated and monolithic implementations, which are and will be, used in modern communication systems to save power consumption and to reduce size and costs - Includes extended coverage of multiband and broadband Doherty amplifiers with different frequency ranges and output powers using different bandwidth extension techniques - Balances theory with practical implementation, avoiding a cookbook approach and enabling engineers to develop better designs, including hybrid, integrated and monolithic implementations

Book Description
The ultimate practical resource for today's RF system design professionals Radio frequency components and circuits form the backbone of today's mobile and satellite communications networks. Consequently, both practicing and aspiring industry professionals need to be able to solve ever more complex problems of RF design. Blending theoretical rigor with a wealth of practical expertise, Practical RF System Design addresses a variety of complex, real-world problems that system engineers are likely to encounter in today's burgeoning communications industry with solutions that are not easily available in the existing literature. The author, an expert in the field of RF module and system design, provides powerful techniques for analyzing real RF systems, with emphasis on some that are currently not well understood. Combining theoretical results and models with examples, he challenges readers to address such practical issues as: * How standing wave ratio affects system gain * How noise on a local oscillator will affect receiver noise figure and desensitization * How to determine the dynamic range of a cascade from module specifications * How phase noise affects system performance and where it comes from * How intermodulation products (IMs) predictably change with signal amplitude, and why they sometimes change differently An essential resource for today's RF system engineers, the text covers important topics in the areas of system noise and nonlinearity, frequency conversion, and phase noise. Along with a wealth of practical examples using MATLAB(r) and Excel, spreadsheets are available for download from an FTP Web site to help readers apply the methods outlined in this important resource.

Modeling and Simulation for RF System Design
Author: Ronny Frevert
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387275851
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Modern telecommunication systems are highly complex from an algorithmic point of view. The complexity continues to increase due to advanced modulation schemes, multiple protocols and standards, as well as additional functionality such as personal organizers or navigation aids. To have short and reliable design cycles, efficient verification methods and tools are necessary. Modeling and simulation need to accompany the design steps from the specification to the overall system verification in order to bridge the gaps between system specification, system simulation, and circuit level simulation. Very high carrier frequencies together with long observation periods result in extremely large computation times and requires, therefore, specialized modeling methods and simulation tools on all design levels. The focus of Modeling and Simulation for RF System Design lies on RF specific modeling and simulation methods and the consideration of system and circuit level descriptions. It contains application-oriented training material for RF designers which combines the presentation of a mixed-signal design flow, an introduction into the powerful standardized hardware description languages VHDL-AMS and Verilog-A, and the application of commercially available simulators. Modeling and Simulation for RF System Design is addressed to graduate students and industrial professionals who are engaged in communication system design and want to gain insight into the system structure by own simulation experiences. The authors are experts in design, modeling and simulation of communication systems engaged at the Nokia Research Center (Bochum, Germany) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits, Branch Lab Design Automation (Dresden, Germany).
