The challenge in RF design is often that the simplest of circuits can be insanely difficult because secondary effects such as parasitics play a major role in circuit behavior. This state of affairs is often referred to as the "real world," "black magic" or "art" rather than science. But RF circuits do comply with the laws of nature. Understanding these secondary effects untangles the mystery. Viewing this CD series will help you become more proficient in the design of RF and microwave circuits. The payoff is less frustration, reduced time to designs that meet specs, and higher performance. No knowledge of higher math required; some familiarity with RF design and measurement terms helpful. This 3 CD-ROM course: * allows you to move through each session at your own speed, * requires no extra work books, * provides you with testing methods for the key concepts taught. Practical Issues in RF Design includes 3 CDs, click the links below to purchase them individually.

A compendium of data for computing the characteristic impedance of transmission lines based on physical dimensions. Covers both conventional structures and unusual geometries, including coaxial, eccentric and elliptic coaxial, twin-wire, wire-above-ground, microstrip and derivatives, stripline, slabline and trough line. Also details numerous configurations of coupled lines.

Noise Concepts and Design presents approximately 75 minutes of practical instruction on noise concepts and design, with emphasis on how circuit design affects noise figures in amplifier design. Additional topics include how accurate and repeatable noise figure measurements are obtained, as well as an explanation of noise waves, phase noise, and low-noise design techniques. Includes over 20 minutes of examples, exercises, and an interview with the instructor.

High Frequency Oscillator Design is a comprehensive tutorial on high-frequency oscillator design. Comprising 10 sessions and approximately 5 hours of instruction, the course presents the basic principles of oscillator design. A grasp of these principles will help you create better designs using the capabilities of CAD. Various CAD techniques including small-signal linear analysis, closed loop linear analysis and electromagnetic simulation of layout effects are illustrated. The course covers both the feedback and reflection-port methods of design and analysis. If you would like further information on oscillator design, you might also be interested in Randy Rhea's book Oscillator Design and Computer Simulation. The CD-ROM can be started from any PC that has Windows 98 (or higher). Note: Windows Media Player 9 is needed to run this course.

This CD-ROM course shows how to use transforms to improve filter realizability. Transforms can also change the topology to be more suitable for a technology, such as coaxial resonators or quartz resonators. The well-known tee to pi is one example transform. Other more powerful transforms and how to use them to design prcatical filters are also discussed. Topics include: Canonic Filters, the Norton Transform, Inverters, Filters with Finite Frequency Zeros.

This is the second CD in the Practical Issues in RF Design series.

This course begins with one of the most important parameters affecting practical issues, that is bandwidth. It also covers basic component modeling and using measured data in circuit simulation.
