RF/Microwave Circuit Design for Wireless Applications

By Matthias Rudolph, Ulrich L. Rohde, David P. Newkirk

A unique, state-of-the-art guide to wireless integrated circuit design. With wireless technology rapidly exploding, there is a growing need for circuit design information specific to wireless applications. Presenting a single-source guidebook to this dynamic area, industry expert Ulrich Rohde and writer David Newkirk provide researchers and engineers with a complete set of modeling, design, and implementation tools for tackling even the newest IC technologies. They emphasize practical design solutions for high-performance devices and circuitry, incorporating ample examples of novel and clever circuits from high-profile companies. They also provide excellent appendices containing working models and CAD-based applications. RF/Microwave Circuit Design for Wireless Applications offers: * Introduction to wireless systems and modulation types * A systematic approach that differentiates between designing for battery-operated devices and base-station design * A comprehensive introduction to semiconductor technologies, from bipolar transistors to CMOS to GaAs MESFETs * Clear guidelines for obtaining the best performance in discrete and integrated amplifier design * Detailed analysis of available mixer circuits applicable to the wireless frequency range * In-depth explanations of oscillator circuits, including microwave oscillators and ceramic-resonator-based oscillators * A thorough evaluation of all components of wireless synthesizers
