With wireless technology rapidly exploding, there is a growing need for circuit design information specific to wireless applications. The second edition of RF/Circuit Design for Wireless Applications is a unique, state-of-the-art guide to wireless integrated circuit design. The authors provide a complete set of modeling, design, and implementation tools for tackling even the newest technologies, such as HBTs, CMOS, BiCMOS, and GaN. It also features updated examples as well as coverage of the design of power amplifiers and new telecommunication standards such as 4G, making this a must-have reference for circuit designers, engineers, researchers, software developers, and graduate students.
About the Author, Ulrich L. Rohde
Ulrich Rohde, a prolific writer and well-known expert in microwave and software engineering, walks readers through all aspects of wireless circuit design for such applications as radios, mobile and cellular telephones, satellite communications, and pagers.
Rohde (corporate chairman and microwave and software engineer) provides researchers and engineers with a thorough set of modeling, design, and implementation tools for understanding and working with IC technologies. An introduction to wireless circuit design is followed by chapters covering models for active devices; amplifier design with BJTs and FETs; mixer design; RF/wireless oscillators; and wireless synthesizers. Throughout, the author helps clarify RF theory and tries to reduce it to practical applications in developing RF circuits. Appendices cover HBT high-frequency modeling and integrated parameter extraction and non-linear microwave circuit design using multiharmonic load-pull simulation technique. Annotation c.
