Practical MMIC Design

摘要

The aim of this book is to introduce the engineer to the basic technology of MMICs. Chapter 1 offers an introduction to MMICs and a history of their development. The first choice that must be made when designing a MMIC is the component technology that will be used and this choice will then lead to a decision as to which foundry process is required. This is the subject of Chapter 2. Because of the strong link between component technology and foundry suppliers, Chapter 3 describes the type of procedures the designer may go through when designing a MMIC with an external foundry. He must be able to take ideas for the circuit topology and accurately predict the performance of the circuit when implemented in MMIC form.
