This classic text is an excellent resource and time-saver for engineers who need to tackle troublesome nonlinear components that remain in use despite recent advances in microwave technology. NONLINEAR MICROWAVE CIRCUITS offers detailed, technically substantial coverage of key methods for the analysis, design, and optimization of nonlinear microwave circuits. Using minimal mathematics, it integrates in-depth, "readable" coverage of the underlying theories that guide these methods. This book is replete with valuable "how to" information on a wide range of topics.

Microwave Mixers

by Stephen A. Maas

Published June 1986
Provides an introduction to fundamental mixer types, as well as variations on the classical mixer designs.

Aims to present "proven-under-fire" microwave circuit design "recipes" that can be followed for fast design results. The text offers a complete treatment of FET resistive mixers, which offer the lowest intermodulation distortion of all types of mixers. There is also information on creating both square law and envelope diode detectors.
