Microwave Amplifiers and Oscillators

This course covers the comprehensive study of microwave amplifiers and oscillators, with a focus on two-port power gains, stability, and the design of single-stage transistor amplifiers. For instance, learners will explore the variety of transistors available for the design of microwave amplifiers and oscillators, and understand the concept of two-port power gain, stability criterions, and the design of single-stage transistor amplifiers. The course also delves into the principles of designing two-port amplifiers, the conditions for stability, and the impact of bilateral transistors on the input and output sections. Furthermore, the course provides an in-depth understanding of RF Oscillators, their design, operation, and stability. The course uses illustrative examples and numerical values to explain these complex concepts, making it easier for learners to grasp and apply them.
