✦ Synopsis

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 includes:

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
