Chapter 6

RF Components and Circuits

In this chapter we will start with concentrated electrical components and explain equivalent circuits that describe element behaviour at higher frequencies. The main part of this chapter is about standard RF and microwave circuits that are composed of concentrated circuit elements and transmission lines. Throughout the following sections we will make extensive use of circuit simulation software to illustrate practical examples.
