| Summary: | The main objective of this two-volume edited book is to present relevant information required for RF and microwave power amplifier design. This comprehensive book will be useful for lecturing to promote the systematic way of thinking with analytical calculations, circuit simulation, and practical verification, thus making a bridge between theory and practice of RF and microwave engineering. The two-volume book is intended for and can be recommended to university-level professors as a comprehensive reference material to help in lecturing for graduate and postgraduate students, to researchers and scientists to combine the theoretical analysis with practical design and to provide a sufficient basis for innovative ideas and circuit and system design techniques, and to practicing designers and engineers as an anthology of many well-known and novel practical circuits, architectures, and theoretical approaches with detailed description of their operational principles and applications. The book is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 discusses, in particular, power amplifier design principles, nonlinear active device modeling, load pull characterization, matching networks, broadband matching problem semi-analytic approaches, and broadband RF/microwave amplifier design using real-frequency techniques.
