The use of modules has become increasingly important in RF and microwave engineering for rapidly realizing high performance microwave systems. When integration is ultimately to be used, building a system up using modules provides a rapid means of prototyping and testing system concepts. A wide variety of RF modules including amplifiers, local oscillators, switches, circulators, isolators, phase detectors, frequency multipliers and dividers, phase-locked loops, and direct digital synthesizers are considered. Detailed design strategies for synthesizing filters based on parallel coupled lines are presented. The reader will gain an appreciation of design by synthesis. This book is suitable as both an undergraduate and graduate textbook, as well as a career-long reference book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey Features\u003cbr\u003e* The fourth volume of a comprehensive series on microwave and RF design\u003cbr\u003e* Open access ebook editions are hosted by NC State University Libraries at https: \/\/repository.lib.ncsu.edu\/handle\/1840.20\/36776\u003cbr\u003e* 23 worked examples\u003cbr\u003e* An average of 21 exercises per chapter\u003cbr\u003e* Answers to selected exercises\u003cbr\u003e* 6 case studies illustrating design procedures\u003cbr\u003e* Emphasis on synthesis as well as building a rich library of microwave functions\u003cbr\u003e* A companion book, \u003ci\u003eFundamentals of Microwave and RF Design, \u003c\/i\u003e is suitable as a comprehensive undergraduate textbook on microwave engineering\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMichael Steer is the Lampe Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at North Carolina State University.
