Microwave Transmission Lines and Their Physical Realizations

Order Form
AUTHOR: Steven L. March
FORMAT: 6 CD-ROMs
INCLUDES: 355 page manual
LIST PRICE: $595.00

Description:
Given the choice of transmission line styles and media for circuit and system construction, these tapes review the performance and design parameters of several alternative lines. The course details the necessary algorithms, their limitations and their accuracy for fabricating components or subsystems using these transmission line media. The course also covers lumped element capacitor, inductor and resistor components, particularly as they are used in monolithic microwave integrated circuits. Slotline, not included in the video presentation, is described in the accompanying 341-page course notes.

High Frequency Oscillator Design

Order Form
AUTHOR: Randall W. Rhea (instructor)
FORMAT: 5 CD-ROMs
LIST PRICE: $499.00
PUBLISHED: 2003

Description:
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.
