Description - Handbook of Microwave Component Measurements by Joel P. Dunsmore
This book provides state-of-the-art coverage for making
measurements on RF and Microwave Components, both active and
passive. A perfect reference for R&D and Test Engineers, with
topics ranging from the best practices for basic measurements, to
an in-depth analysis of errors, correction methods, and uncertainty
analysis, this book provides everything you need to understand
microwave measurements. With primary focus on active and passive
measurements using a Vector Network Analyzer, these techniques and
analysis are equally applicable to measurements made with Spectrum
Analyzers or Noise Figure Analyzers.
The early chapters provide a theoretical basis for measurements
complete with extensive definitions and descriptions of component
characteristics and measurement parameters. The latter
chapters give detailed examples for cases of cable, connector and
filter measurements; low noise, high-gain and high power amplifier
measurements, a wide range of mixer and frequency converter
measurements, and a full examination of fixturing, de-embedding,
balanced measurements and calibration techniques. The chapter on
time-domain theory and measurements is the most complete treatment
on the subject yet presented, with details of the underlying
mathematics and new material on time domain gating. As the inventor
of many of the methods presented, and with 30 years as a
development engineer on the most modern measurement platforms, the
author presents unique insights into the understanding of modern
measurement theory.
Key Features:
Explains the interactions between the device-under-test (DUT)
and the measuring equipment by demonstrating the best practices for
ascertaining the true nature of the DUT, and optimizing the time to
set up and measure
Offers a detailed explanation of algorithms and mathematics
behind measurements and error correction
Provides numerous illustrations (e.g. block-diagrams for
circuit connections and measurement setups) and practical examples
on real-world devices, which can provide immediate benefit to the
reader
Written by the principle developer and designer of many of the
measurement methods described
This book will be an invaluable guide for RF and microwave
R&D and test engineers, satellite test engineers, radar
engineers, power amplifier designers, LNA designers, and mixer
designers. University researchers and graduate students in
microwave design and test will also find this book of interest.
