The challenge in RF design is often that the simplest of circuits can be insanely difficult because secondary effects such as parasitics play a major role in circuit behavior. This state of affairs is often referred to as the "real world," "black magic" or "art" rather than science. But RF circuits do comply with the laws of nature. Understanding these secondary effects untangles the mystery. Viewing this CD series will help you become more proficient in the design of RF and microwave circuits. The payoff is less frustration, reduced time to designs that meet specs, and higher performance. No knowledge of higher math required; some familiarity with RF design and measurement terms helpful.
