Oriented toward practical aspects of the microwave statistical design problem, this book shows you methods for extending the currently used design methodology in order to design inù reliability and manufacturability. It introduces you to statistical circuit design techniques that encompass many different applications. The text concentrates on the problem of maximizing parametric yield. To verify the methods discussed it presents the results of three case studies using actual fabricated designs.
