RF Circuit Design Techniques for MF-UHF Applications

Book description

A valuable resource for professionals and students, this book explains how to design, simulate, and implement RF/microwave components and devices for applications within the medium frequency (MF) to ultrahigh frequency (UHF) range. It covers a variety of techniques for designing high-power microstrip circuits, directional couplers, transformers, composite and multilayer inductors, filters, combiners/dividers, and RFID systems. The book illustrates how to apply the theory in practice and includes real-world implementation examples that use computer-aided design (CAD) tools. Throughout, the author offers practical hints to help designers.
