-- A monolithic implementation of RF transceivers in CMOS and bipolar technologies.
-- Covers both architecture and circuit level; building-block approach uses amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, and frequency synthesizers.
This book is designed to give electrical engineers the RF microelectronics background they need to design state-of-the-art consumer electronics and communications devices.
RF Microelectronics begins with a thorough introduction to the fundamental concepts of RF design, including nonlinearity, interference and noise. It reviews modulation and detection theory; multiple access techniques, and current wireless standards -- including CDMA, TDMA, AMPS and GSM. It presents case studies of transceiver architectures designed by several leading manufacturers. Finally, it offers detailed explanations of low-noise amplifiers, mixers and oscillators; frequency synthesizers and power amplifiers.
