E-raamat: Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit Design, Second Edition

In this practical reference on designing radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs), the authors, both professors of electronics at Carleton University, present working designs from their own RFIC lab. Introductory chapters for those new to RFIC design cover basics of communication circuits, issues in RFIC design, system level architecture and design considerations, and a brief review of technology. The rest of the book describes RFIC designs including RF integrated LNAs, VCO automatic amplitude control loops, voltage controlled oscillators, power amplifiers, and fully integrated transformer-based circuits. This second edition adds new information on design of RFICs using complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) transistors; it adds new equations for CMOS circuits and includes complete CMOS-based design examples for each of the major radio frequency building blocks. There are also new chapters on system issues and frequency synthesizer design. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
