Propose some books about ldmos amplifier designs please.

[Fflint]

I'm looking for books on the subject of ldmos rf amplifiers. Not for beginners, but for an intermediate person who knows the concepts of rf. I've built few vacuum tube linear RF amifiers. I've built one kit ldmos amp and I fixed a couple too.

There is a large selection of good books for building vacuum tube gear, but this doesn't seem to be the case for ldmos. I'm especially looking for answers to questions like how feedback affects input/output matching.

RF Power Amplifiers for Wireless Communications, Steve C. Cripps

   1.   “Handbook of RF and Microwave Power Amplifiers” edited by John L. B. Walker: This comprehensive resource covers various aspects of RF and microwave power amplifier design, including devices like Si LDMOS and VDMOS, GaAs FETs, and GaN HEMTs. It provides in-depth discussions on amplifier classes, design methodologies, and includes sections pertinent to LDMOS technology.  
   2.   “RF Power Amplifiers for Wireless Communications” by Steve C. Cripps: This book delves into the principles of RF power amplifiers, offering detailed analyses of feedback effects, impedance matching, and design strategies to optimize amplifier performance. It’s a valuable resource for understanding both theoretical and practical aspects of RF power amplifier design.
   3.   “Practical RF Amplifier Design and Performance Optimization with SPICE and Load- and Source-Pull Techniques” by Amal Banerjee: This text explains and demonstrates, with an exhaustive set of design examples, how common types of RF amplifiers can be designed and optimized. It covers the use of SPICE for simulation and discusses load- and source-pull techniques, essential for understanding feedback and impedance matching in amplifier design.

Regarding “The LDMOS R.F. Amplifier Handbook” by Helge Granberg, it appears that this specific title may be out of print or not widely available online. However, Helge Granberg has contributed significantly to the field, and his works are referenced in other publications. For instance, the book “Radio Frequency Transistors: Principles and Practical Applications” by Norman Dye and Helge Granberg provides valuable insights into RF transistor applications, including LDMOS devices.  

I hope these resources assist you in your exploration of LDMOS RF amplifier design.
