For senior undergraduate and first-year graduate Electrical Engineering courses in RF circuit design with an emphasis on an analog integrated circuits.
Taking a circuits perspective approach to circuit design fundamentals, this practical and comprehensive text covers all important RF design concepts—with a focus on methodology fundamentals and discussion of theoretical concepts. The Second Edition introduces RF design tools such as the Smith Chart, dual port networks, S-parameters, and provides extensive coverage of RF filter design, matching networks, active and passive device modeling, narrow and broadband amplifiers, mixers, and oscillators.
- NEW - Updated problems throughout the text–Each chapter in the Second Edition includes an expanded list of problems and selected solutions.
- NEW - New sidebars and features–Key RF concepts and ideas are prominently featured in sidebars throughout the text.
- NEW - "Practically Speaking" sections at the close of each chapter clearly demonstrate how theory relates to practice.
- Approaches RF design from a circuit perspective–Requires students to have little or no background in electromagnetic fields.
- Comprehensive coverage of RF design concepts–Incorporates the required key concepts in a single, convenient source.
- Figures and MATLAB m-files are provided on the authors' web site: http://ece.wpi.edu/RF_Circuit_Design/
