Books by Patrick (Ohio State University) Roblin

With increasingly low-cost and power-efficient RF electronics demanded by today's wireless communication systems, this book brings you up to speed with key developments in the field. It presents the use of nonlinear vector network analyzers (NVNA) for characterization, modeling, design and linearization, with practical design examples provided throughout to support the theory.

High-speed heterostructures are spearheading the drive toward smaller, faster and lower power devices. This book is a timely and comprehensive introduction to heterostructures, covering the underlying physics, modeling techniques and the latest devices, including MODFETs, HBTs and RTDs. Numerous homework exercises and a web link to MATLAB examples are included.
