Practical RF Power Design Techniques


Book Description

Useful information on radio-frequency circuit design is hard to find. Most of it comes in the form of highly technical manufacturer's literature & bulky math-oriented textbooks, or from oversimplified books for amateurs & hobbyists. So, most electronics practitioners end up having to learn RF techniques by trial & error. Now, thanks to Irving Gottlieb's Practical RF Power Design Techniques, circuit designers can have at their fingertips all the hands-on instruction they need to translate RF theory into functioning hardware. Gottlieb thoroughly explains the theory behind RF circuit design & operation. But, unlike other books, he doesn't stop there. He supports his discussion of principles & formulas with examples taken from real-world applications. He uses actual values for electronic components currently on the market, instead of hypothetical figures that are hard for readers to visualize. And, by concentrating on general uses that aren't affected by changes in industry standards, Gottlieb ensures that the book will enjoy a long shelf life.




Fundamentals of Power Supply Design


Book Description

Whether you are a student, a newly-minted engineer entering the field of power electronics, a salesperson needing to understand a customer's needs, or a seasoned power supply designer desiring to track down a forgotten equation, this book will be a significant aid. Beginning with the basic definition of a power supply, we will traverse through voltage regulation techniques and the components necessary for their implementation, and then move on to the myriad of circuit topologies and control algorithms prevalent in modern-day design solutions. Separate chapters on feedback-loop compensation and magnetic design principles will build on this foundation, along with in-depth descriptions for dealing with regulations for electromagnetic compatibly, human safety, and energy efficiency issues. Additional chapters will describe the value proposition for digital control and the practical aspects power supply construction.

Low-Power Electronics Design


Book Description

The power consumption of integrated circuits is one of the most problematic considerations affecting the design of high-performance chips and portable devices. The study of power-saving design methodologies now must also include subjects such as systems on chips, embedded software, and the future of microelectronics. Low-Power Electronics Design covers all major aspects of low-power design of ICs in deep submicron technologies and addresses emerging topics related to future design. This volume explores, in individual chapters written by expert authors, the many low-power techniques born during the past decade. It also discusses the many different domains and disciplines that impact power consumption, including processors, complex circuits, software, CAD tools, and energy sources and management. The authors delve into what many specialists predict about the future by presenting techniques that are promising but are not yet reality. They investigate nanotechnologies, optical circuits, ad hoc networks, e-textiles, as well as human powered sources of energy. Low-Power Electronics Design delivers a complete picture of today's methods for reducing power, and also illustrates the advances in chip design that may be commonplace 10 or 15 years from now.
