Written by a well-known authority in the field, this new book is the first to explain behavioral modeling of nonlinear RF and microwave devices, and presents a powerful curve fitting technique you can use to accurately describe the behavior and range of microwave components as a function of multiple independent variables. This thorough and detailed examination of behavioral modeling is comprehensible and features easily-understood mathematical formulas.
Using the author's behavioral modeling methodology, you can generate equations that provide accurate and acceptable reproductions of nonlinear RF and microwave device performance under various conditions. Specifically, you can...
>Obtain more accurate representations of saturation and cut-off behavior
>Develop more accurate transistor models to generate improved harmonic power output data as a function of power input ranging from small signal to heavy compression, and bias levels ranging from pinch off to maximum allowable current
>Gain a unified approach to amplifier and transistor characterization of compression characteristic, 1 dB compression point, saturated power output and 3rd order intercept point
>Create unique trade spaces for optimization of sub-system design
You see how behavioral modeling is developed for bipolar and MESFET devices used in amplifiers and learn techniques for effectively modeling measured and simulated frequency responses.
