This text/reference develops practical intuition into the art of RF circuit design and introduces users to the widely used simulation tool, Pathwave ADS, from Keysight Technologies. By using project-oriented assignments, it builds a strong foundation and focuses on practical applications illustrated by examples, simulation tutorials, and homework problems. Learning through doing has proven to be an effective preparatory tool for more advanced and complex applications, and this book is developed from the author’s lecture notes for a senior/graduate class at University of California Santa Barbara. The class had a significant lab component employing measurement techniques, board-level prototyping, and RFIC design. Falling somewhere between a traditional textbook and a practical handbook, it focuses mainly on analog RF analysis and design and circuit simulation techniques.

Stephen I. Long received his B.Sc. degree in engineering physics from the University of California, Berkeley, and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY. From 1974 to 1977 he was a Senior Engineer at Varian Associates, Palo Alto, CA. From 1978 to 1981 he was a member of the technical staff at Rockwell International Science Center, Thousand Oaks, CA. He has been a member of the Electrical and Computer Engineering department of the University of California, Santa Barbara since 1981. He is currently Professor Emeritus and has served as Vice Chair, Graduate Advisor, and Undergraduate Program Director. His research interests included the design of very high-speed digital integrated circuits, high performance devices and fabrication technologies, and high frequency analog integrated circuits for wireless and fiber-optic communications. Dr. Long received the IEEE Microwave Applications Award in 1978 for development of InP millimeter wave devices. In 1988 he was a research visitor at GEC Hirst Research Centre, UK. In 1994 he was a Fulbright research visitor at the Signal Processing Laboratory, Tampere University of Technology, Finland and a visiting professor at Electromagnetics Institute, Technical University of Denmark. In 1999, he was a visitor at Hewlett-Packard HP/Eesof Division, Santa Rosa, CA.
