February 2011 Quick Finite Elements for Electromagnetic Waves, 2nd ed. ELECTROMAGNETIC (EM) simulation tools have proven invaluable in modeling and designing a wide range of RF and microwave components, including couplers and filters. The use of finite-element analysis (FEA) for analyzing the two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) EM fields around a circuit can provide invaluable insight into the behavior of EM fields in and around different microwave circuits and structures, including microstrip, ... — February 2011 Frequency Synthesizers: Concept to Product SO ESSENTIAL ARE FREQUENCY synthesizers to communications systems, it would be hard to imagine the modern “wireless revolution” without them. These stabilized sources, both fixed and tunable, can be found in every cellular telephone, in every cellular base station and repeater, and in most high-performance wireless products requiring a stable frequency source for transmission and reception of RF and microwave signals. They may not be simple, but... — May 2009 Achieving Effective Amplifier Designs — Nancy Friedrich June 2008 Microwave System Design Tools and EW Applications Electronic warfare (EW) system design involves both analog and digital electronics often operating across broad bandwidths, including millimeter- wave and optical frequencies. Design of the RF and microwave portions of these systems involves a strong understanding of how individual components perform and how they interact as part of analog signal-processing chains. Peter East’s Microwave System Design Tools and EW Applications provides an excellent introduction to... — Jack Browne May 2008 Advanced Phase-Lock Techniques Phase-locked loops (PLLs) are an integral part of many communications systems. Essential for their capability of synthesizing stable output signals from tunable oscillators, such as voltagecontrolled oscillators (VCOs), the PLL has grown in importance with the growing use of digital modulation formats and design requirements to compress more information onto transmitted RF/microwave signals. For those seeking a comprehensive roadmap to the world of PLLs, there may... — Jack Browne January 2008 Phase-Lock Basics Phase-lock loops (PLLs) have become invaluable circuits in electronic circuits, in everything from frequency-modulated (FM) radio tuners to high-performance microwave frequency synthesizers. In the second edition of Phase-Lock Basics, author William Egan builds upon the basic design principles contained in the first edition of his text, exploring the effects of noise on PLL performance. Mr. Egan is uniquely qualified to present this textbook course on... — Jack Browne October 2007 Fundamentals of Vector Network Analysis Vector network analysis (VNA) is among the most essential of RF/microwave measurement approaches, and Rohde & Schwarz (www.rohdeschwarz. com) is among the world’s leading manufacturers of test equipment for this purpose. While the firm is associated with a wide range of high-performance test equipment, including spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and telecommunications test systems, few readers... — Jack Browne |
