It's Back! New chapters, examples, and insights; all infused with the
timeless concepts and theories that have helped RF engineers for the
past 25 years! RF circuit design is now more important than ever as we
find ourselves in an increasingly wireless world. Radio is the backbone
of today's wireless industry with protocols such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi,
WiMax, and ZigBee. Most, if not all, mobile devices have an RF component
and this book tells the reader how to design and integrate that
component in a very practical fashion. This book has been updated to
include today's integrated circuit (IC) and system-level design issues
as well as keeping its classic "wire lead" material. Design Concepts
and Tools Include -The Basics: Wires, Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors
-Resonant Circuits: Resonance, Insertion Loss -Filter Design: High-pass,
Bandpass, Band-rejection -Impedance Matching: The L Network, Smith
Charts, Software Design Tools -Transistors: Materials, Y Parameters, S
Parameters -Small Signal RF Amplifier: Transistor Biasing, Y Parameters,
S Parameters -RF Power Amplifiers: Automatic Shutdown Circuitry,
Broadband Transformers, Practical Winding Hints -RF Front-End:
Architectures, Software-Defined Radios, ADC's Effects -RF Design Tools:
Languages, Flow, Modeling Check out this book's companion Web site at:
