Fordecades,MICROwavelineofsight(LOS)linkshavebeenoneofthebasictechnolo-
gies used to build telephone networks. Until 1980, the fast rollout of high capacity
transport networks and deployment of links in areas with challenging geographic
characteristics could not be understood without this technology.
In recent years, the research and developments in the area of RF and MICROwave
technologies have progressed significantly due to the growing demand for applica-
bility in wireless communication technologies. Starting from 1992, wireless com-
munication technologies have become quite mature. In the modern era of electronic
developments, design of wireless handsets is an example of integration of many di-
verse skill sets. Classical books in the areas of MICROwave technology provide us
with an in-depth knowledge of electromagnetic fundamentals.
Research on MICROwave power amplififiers has gained a growing importance demanded by the many continuously developing applications which require such subsystem performance. A broad set of commercial and strategic systems in fact have their overall performance boosted by the power amplififier, the latter becoming an enabling component wherever its effificiency and output power actually allows functionalities and operating modes previously not possible. This is the case for the many wireless systems and battery-operated systems that form the substrate of everyday life, but also of high-performance satellite and dual-use systems.
