For undergraduate course in RF electronics and Microwave Circuits and Devices. This highly illustrated resource makes grasping the fundamentals of RF and microwave electronic theory and design easier and faster. Begins at the rudimentary level of axioms and postulates of physical sciences and progresses to introduce low-frequency transistor circuit analysis and design, RF electronics and wave fundamentals, microstrip lines, and the application of the Smith chart in lumped and distributed circuit analysis and design.
