Pedro J.C., Carvalho N.B. Intermodulation Distortion in Microwave and Wireless Circuits

Artech House Microwave Library, 2003. — 450 p. — ISBN-10: 1580533566. — ISBN-13: 978-1580533560.As electronic designers pack more and more circuits onto a single chip to create increasingly complex devices, they run into a daunting obstacle: intermodulation distortion. This distortion occurs when circuits are too closely placed together and their operating frequencies begin to interfere with each other. This manual addresses all aspects of intermodulation distortion. From the basics of circuit design, to cutting-edge techniques, it offers practitioners hands-on guidance for their challenging projects.Signal Perturbation—General Concepts.
