This book explains techniques and examples for designing stable amplifiers for high-frequency applications in which the signal is small and the amplifier circuit is linear.

An in-depth discussion of linear network theory provides the foundation needed to develop actual designs. Examples throughout the book will show you how to apply the knowledge gained in each chapter leading to the complex design of low noise amplifiers.

Many exercises at the end of each chapter will help students to practice their skills. The solutions to these design problems are available in an accompanying solutions booklet (Small Signal Microwave Amplifier Design: Solutions)

"This book is an unusually clear tutorial on small-signal amplifier design that uses the latest circuit analysis and CAD tools in a step-by-step design approach. It is an excellent reference book for RF and microwave designers, as well as a good textbook for engineering students."
