Microwave Differential Circuit Design Using Mixed Mode S-Parameters

Gain hands-on understanding of powerful new mixed-mode scattering parameter techniques and their applications in microwave circuit design, straight from the inventors of the techniques themselves. This groundbreaking resource uses the original research and application work in the field to describe mixed-mode S-parameter principles. Supported with over 150 illustrations, the book thoroughly explains practical techniques that help you more effectively analyze differential and multi-port systems; measure and describe multi-port circuit performance; and conduct differential circuit analyses for isolation, crosstalk, stability, noise reduction, and balance. Moreover, the book enables you to achieve greater signal integrity, offering you cutting-edge design guidance on couplers, transformers, baluns, circulators, splitters, filters, and other components. You learn powerful techniques that help you transform a haystack of single-ended microwave data into cogent differential design-oriented results, eliminate errors inherent with single-ended measurements, and speed circuit modeling and design while greatly expanding their regions of stable operation. Balanced circuit design issues such as mode specific matching, CMRR, and mode conversion are also addressed in depth.
