Practical Issues in RF Design:Examples, Unloaded Q & Tuning
AUTHOR: Randall W. Rhea
FORMAT: CD-ROM
PUBLISHED: 2003
ISBN: 1-884932-43-6
The challenge in RF design is often that the simplest of circuits can be insanely difficult because secondary effects such as parasitics play a major role in circuit behavior. This state of affairs is often referred to as the "real world," "black magic" or "art" rather than science.
But RF circuits do comply with the laws of nature. Understanding these secondary effects untangles the mystery. Viewing this CD series will help you become more proficient in the design of RF and microwave circuits. The payoff of a better understanding of practical RF issues is less frustration, reduced time to designs in spec and higher performance.
This CD covers complete design examples, more details on component unloaded Q and how to tune high-order circuits. A distributed 2.2 GHz combline band-pass filter and an L-C IF band-pass filter are designed from start to finish including a comparison to measured data. Those who have tuned multiple-section amplifiers, matching networks, filters and other circuits appreciate the difficulty. The course includes a discussion of the Dishal tuning technique, which reduces tuning difficulty.
