Description
This book, first published in 2004, is an expanded and thoroughly revised edition of Tom Lee’s acclaimed guide to the design of gigahertz RF integrated circuits. A new chapter on the principles of wireless systems provides a bridge between system and circuit issues. The chapters on low-noise amplifiers, oscillators and phase noise have been significantly expanded. The chapter on architectures now contains several examples of complete chip designs, including a GPS receiver and a wireless LAN transceiver, that bring together the theoretical and practical elements involved in producing a prototype chip. Every section has been revised and updated with findings in the field and the book is packed with physical insights and design tips, and includes a historical overview that sets the whole field in context. With hundreds of circuit diagrams and homework problems this is an ideal textbook for students taking courses on RF design and a valuable reference for practising engineers.
- Thoroughly revised and expanded new edition of a best-selling guide to the design of CMOS RF chips
- Contains a new chapter on the fundamentals of wireless systems
- Now contains several complete, stage-by-stage chip designs, including a GPS receiver and a wireless LAN transceiver
