'Whether you are an RF transistor designer, amplifier designer or a system designer, this is a good all inclusive reference book for RF and microwave transistor power amplifiers.' Microwave Journal

Whether you are an RF transistor designer, an amplifier designer or a system designer, this is your one-stop guide to RF and microwave transistor power amplifiers. A team of expert authors brings you up to speed on every topic, including: devices (Si LDMOS and VDMOS, GaAs FETs, GaN HEMTs), circuit and amplifier design (discrete, hybrid and monolithic), CAD, thermal design, reliability, and system applications/requirements for RF and microwave transistor amplifiers. Covering state-of-the-art developments and emphasising practical communications applications, this is the complete professional reference on the subject.
