The second of two volumes, this is a comprehensive treatment of nonlinear circuits, introducing the advanced topics that professionals need to understand for their RF (radio frequency) circuit design work. It presents an introduction to active RF devices and their modelling, and explores nonlinear circuit simulation techniques. Design techniques are addressed for RF transistor amplifiers, oscillators, mixers and frequency multipliers.

With the evolution of wireless systems and services, the on-air signals themselves are also undergoing very significant transformations. This paper by Besser Associates instructor Earl McCune provides a survey of the active and coming-soon signal types adopted for wireless systems around the world. Focus is on modulation schemes, along with various measures used to characterize the signals before and after power amplification.

This book is based on the RF Measurements: Principles and Demonstration course from Besser Associates.

This is undoubtedly the most accessible book on digital signal processing available to the beginner. Using intuitive explanations and well-chosen examples, this book gives you the tools to develop a fundamental understanding of DSP theory.
