This is a translation of a sucessful German text "Hochfrequenztechnik" (published by Expert Verlag), originally based on an advanced professional training course given at the Technical Academy of Esslingen. The book will be of value to students - from senior undergraduates upwards - in electronics specialising in RF/HF, to practising engineers involved in HF work, and will also be of keen interest to the burgeoning amateur RF community. It covers the basic principles of HF semiconductor electronics, through specific examples in circuit development and modern measurement technology, along with consideration of the influence of the computer in switching technology.
Table of Contents
Network parameters as auxiliary quantities in HF circuit engineering; high-frequency lines; striplines; HF circuits with power transistors; unipolar and bipolar transistors in rating classes for 3-1000 MHz; computer-aided development of HF circuits; computer-aided development and optimization of HF circuits; HF receivers; matching measurement - problems and solutions; noise and the measurement of noise quantities.
