Audio Power Amplifier Design


Book Description

This book is essential for audio power amplifier designers and engineers for one simple reason...it enables you as a professional to develop reliable, high-performance circuits. The Author Douglas Self covers the major issues of distortion and linearity, power supplies, overload, DC-protection and reactive loading. He also tackles unusual forms of compensation and distortion produced by capacitors and fuses. This completely updated fifth edition includes four NEW chapters including one on The XD Principle, invented by the author, and used by Cambridge Audio. Crosstalk, power amplifier input systems, and microcontrollers in amplifiers are also now discussed in this fifth edition, making this book a must-have for audio power amplifier professionals and audiophiles.




RF and Microwave Power Amplifier Design


Book Description

This is a rigorous tutorial on radio frequency and microwave power amplifier design, teaching the circuit design techniques that form the microelectronic backbones of modern wireless communications systems. Suitable for self-study, corporate training, or Senior/Graduate classroom use, the book combines analytical calculations and computer-aided design techniques to arm electronic engineers with every possible method to improve their designs and shorten their design time cycles.

Advanced Techniques in RF Power Amplifier Design


Book Description

This much-anticipated volume builds on the author's best selling and classic work, RF Power Amplifiers for Wireless Communications (Artech House, 1999), offering experienced engineers a more in-depth understanding of the theory and design of RF power amplifiers. An invaluable reference tool for RF, digital and system level designers, the book includes discussions on the most critical topics for professionals in the field, including envelope power management schemes and linearization.




Standard Handbook of Electronic Engineering, 5th Edition


Book Description

The Standard Handbook of Electronics Engineering has defined its field for over thirty years. Spun off in the 1960’s from Fink’s Standard Handbook of Electrical Engineering, the Christiansen book has seen its markets grow rapidly, as electronic engineering and microelectronics became the growth engine of digital computing. The EE market has now undergone another seismic shift—away from computing and into communications and media. The Handbook will retain much of its evergreen basic material, but the key applications sections will now focus upon communications, networked media, and medicine—the eventual destination of the majority of graduating EEs these days.




RF Power Amplifiers for Wireless Communications


Book Description

This extensively revised edition offers a comprehensive, practical, up-to-date understanding of how to tackle a power amplifier design with confidence and quickly determine the cause of malfunctioning hardware.
