A generous amount of case study material is presented, including a ‘what went wrong in the design process’ discussion, when applicable. Color plots of current density and various field quantities included throughout the book help you better understand the fundamental behavior of the circuits being studied. Stress is given to the impact of meshing, geometrical resolution and convergence on the solution process, showing you that you can better control and greatly influence the quality and speed of the solution. You’ll appreciate solving problems using the fundamental, underlying physics, rather than the more approximate methods used in the past. Specific design information on transitions in multilayer PCBs and PCB connectors is not available in any other book.

Due to the unprecedented growth in wireless applications over the past decade, development of low-cost solutions for RF and microwave communication systems has become of great importance. This practical new book is the first comprehensive treatment of lumped elements, which are playing a critical role in the development of the circuits that make these cost-effective systems possible. The books offers you an in-depth understanding of the different types of RF and microwave circuit elements, including inductors, capacitors, resistors, transformers, via holes, airbridges, and crossovers.
Supported with over 220 equations and more than 200 illustrations, it covers the practical aspects of each element in exceptional detail. No other single volume treats this subject matter in such depth. From materials, fabrication, and analyses… to design, modeling, and physical, electrical, and thermal applications, this unique resource offers you complete coverage of the critical topics you need understand for your work in the field. Offering the most comprehensive, up-to-date body of knowledge on lumped elements, the book is an indispensable professional reference and serves as an excellent text for senior undergraduate and graduate-level courses in RF and microwave circuit design.
