Advanced Series in Circuits and Systems - Vol. 4
COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN OF COMMUNICATION NETWORKS
by Yi-Sheng Zhu (Dalian Maritime University) & Wai Kai Chen (University of Illinois, Chicago)
Circuit design is now carried out by computers using algorithms instead of tables, charts and rules of thumb. The book is an introduction to the computer-aided design of communication networks, based on a firm analytic foundation of circuit theory and numerical techniques. It provides design procedures and techniques of filters, broadband matching networks, compatible impedances, high-frequency amplifiers, diplexers and multiplexers. All programs are written in FORTRAN 77 and run by MS-FORTRAN 5.1 and WATFIV compilers on personal computers. A special feature of the book is that it bridges the gap between theory and practice, and algorithms and implementations. The level of the book is suitable for a senior elective or a circuit design course for the first-year graduate students as well as a reference book for practicing engineers.

Readership: Graduates and engineers.
"This book is a welcome and timely addition to a long list of books on passive network synthesis, some of which are out of print. It is a comprehensive coverage of the subject of impedance matching networks ... there are plenty of excellent illustrative examples so that the reader should have no difficulty in applying the algorithms to similar situations ... this is an excellent book on passive network design for everyday use. I recommend it to all RF circuit designers, young and old."
