Microwave transistors are assuming greater importance in consumer communications technology. Schwierz (RF & Nanoelectronics Research Group, Technische Universität Ilmenau, Germany) and Liou (electrical and computer science, U. of Central Florida, US) provide an introduction to the technology that covers physics, operations, design, and performance issues. They discuss different transistor structures, analysis of transistor behavior, and design guidelines. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

\ From Barnes & NobleThe Barnes & Noble Review\ If microwave transistor technology is something you need to know more about, this book has the answers. And, without a doubt, knowledge of this technology is important in order to understand or design and develop effective applications in wireless communications or microwave electronics. \ This book is well organized and nicely presented. In order to bring you up to speed quickly, the authors have included a number of helpful features, from an introductory look at basic semiconductor physics (including heterojunctions) to a history and overview of microwave transistors to a look at future trends in the field. They thoroughly cover the different types of microwave transistors in use or under development. The heart of the book centers on providing the reader with a physical understanding of the operation and design of microwave transistors.\ Technology has been advancing at dizzying speeds during the last 30 years. A quick look at the technological revolution that has already taken place (particularly in microwave transistors) provides insight into predictable improvements in the near future. And, as this dynamic thrust into the world of the new technology continues, we can only hazard a guess as to what might come. Individuals in this field must be equipped to break new ground, and this book will help you prepare for the digging! John Vacca\ John Vacca, the former computer security official (CSO) for NASA's space station program (Freedom), has written 38 books about advanced storage, computer security, and aerospace technology.\ \ \
