Advanced RF & Microwave Circuit Design (Updated & Modernized Edition - June 2018)

About the Book

RF and Microwaves is currently in the forefront as a fundamental technology in numerous industrial and commercial applications. As applications of RF and microwaves continue to evolve and as this technology becomes a common factor in the scientific and engineering communities it is impera­tive that university students and practicing scientists and engineers become thoroughly familiar with the measurement principles, electronics, and design fundamentals under­lying this technology.

RF and Microwaves is currently in the forefront as a fundamental technology in numerous industrial and commercial applications. As applications of RF and microwaves continue to evolve and as this technology becomes a common factor in the scientific and engineering communities it is impera­tive that university students and practicing scientists and engineers become thoroughly familiar with the measurement principles, electronics, and design fundamentals under­lying this technology.

Advanced RF & Microwave Circuit Design is the quickest way to master this powerful subject, and information contained within the pages of this book will make every key electronic, measurement, and design principle you need a simple task.

The book introduces concepts on a wide range of materials and has several advantages over existing texts, including:

1.   The presentation of a series of scientific postulates and axioms, which lays the foundation for any of the engineering sciences and is unique to this book compared with similar RF and Microwave texts.

2.   The presentation of classical laws and principles of electricity and magnetism, all inter-related, conceptually and graphically.

3.      There is a shift of emphasis from rigorous mathematical solutions of Maxwell’s equations, and instead has been aptly placed on simple yet fundamental concepts that underlie these equations. This shift of emphasis will promote a deeper understanding of the electronics, particularly at RF/Microwave frequencies.

4.   Fundamentals of electronics have been amply treated, which makes an easy transition to RF/Microwave principles and pre­vents a gap of knowledge in the reader’s mind.<

About the Author

Matthew M. Radmanesh received his MSEE and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in Microwave Electronics and Electro-Optics in 1980 and 1984, respectively.

He has worked in academia for Kettering University (formerly GMI Engineering & Manage-ment) and in industry for Hughes Aircraft Co., Maury Microwave Corp. and Boeing Aircraft Co. He is currently a faculty member in the electrical and computer engineering department at California State University, Northridge, CA.

Dr. Radmanesh is a senior member of IEEE, Eta Kappa Nu Honor society and a past president (three years) of the SFV Chapter of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technique (MTT) society.

He received the distinguished lecturer award at the 1994 IEEE international Microwave Symposium and was awarded twice by IEEE LA council for his contributions to the MTT society (1994, 1995).

Dr. Radmanesh won the MPD divisional award while at Hughes Aircraft Co. for his pioneering work in the development and design of solid state millimeter wave noise sources in Ka- and V-band, and a similar award for his outstanding contributions to the HERF project from Boeing Aircraft Co. He holds two patents for his pioneering work and novel designs of two millimeter-wave noise sources.

Dr. Radmanesh authored several popular books entitled "The ultimate Keys to Success in Business & Science," in 2008 and “Cracking the Code of Our Physical Universe,” in 2006, "RF & Microwave Design Essentials" in 2007, and another, “The Gateway to Understanding: Electrons to Waves and Beyond,” accompanied by a comprehensive workbook in 2005, all published by AuthorHouse; as well as another textbook entitled "Radio Frequency and Microwave Electronics Illustrated" published by Prentice Hall in 2001, with its Chinese edition (ISBN 7-5053-7628-4) published in 2002, and the Korean language translation (ISBN 89-7283-264-2) in 2005.  

His hobbies include chess, philosophy, soccer and tennis.
