This book is the first to give an introduction to microwave de-embedding, showing how it is the cornerstone for waveform engineering. The authors explain clearly the theoretical concepts, providing a foundation that supports linear and non-linear measurements, modelling and circuit design. Subsequent chapters analyse linear and non-linear characterization and modelling for silicon devices and low-noise amplifier design. The book ends with two chapters addressing successful power amplifier design strategies using the de-embedding concept. Recent developments and future trends in the field are covered throughout, including the state of the art non-linear approach to de-embedding The first book to present the theory and practice of microwave de-embedding, from the basic principles to recent advances and future trends Written by experts in the field, all of whom are leading researchers in the area Each chapter describes theoretical background and gives experimental results and practical applications
