This book is a valuable aid to the modern microwave engineer. Due to sig-
nificant R&D funding, innovations, processing advancements and electronic
circuit developments, the Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit
(MMIC) has now become commonplace, replacing many discrete circuits
with individual transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors and element inter-
connections. MMIC circuits show reduced size and cost with higher reliabil-
ity to meet the needs of today’s markets. MMICs have replaced discrete
designs, except for low volume specialty circuits, as well as very high power
applications at RF and microwave frequencies. At millimeter wave frequen-
cies, with the small wavelengths, the MMIC circuit is the primary vehicle to
realize practical integrated circuits.
With technology advances, the electrical engineer must keep himself
updated to the latest needs of the marketplace. Dr. Steve Marsh has worked
for many years developing MMIC circuits and is now sharing his knowledge
and experiences by preparing this excellent book for the engineer. This book
covers all aspects of MMIC design, layout, and fabrication. The book also
includes the design of resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, transistors,
transmission lines, transmission line discontinuities, amplifiers (low noise as
xiiiwell as power), oscillators, mixers, switches, phase shifters, filters, couplers,
and baluns.
Special thanks is extended to Dr. SteveMarsh for his countless hours in
writing this book, along with his willingness to share hisMMIC design expe-
rience for the engineer.
