Its Back! New chapters examples & insights; all infused with the timeless concepts & theories that have helped RF engineers for the past 25 years! RF circuit design is now more important than ever as we find ourselves in an increasingly wireless world. Radio is the backbone of todays wireless industry with protocols such as Bluetooth Wi-Fi Wi Max & Zig Bee. Most if not all mobile devices have an RF component & this book tells the reader how to design & integrate that component in a very practical fashion. This book has been updated to include todays integrated circuit (IC) & system-level design issues as well as keeping its classic wire lead" material. Design Concepts & Tools include the basics: Wires Resistors Capacitors Inductors; Resonant Circuits: Resonance Insertion Loss; Filter Design: High-pass Bandpass B&-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; R F Front-End: Architectures Software-Defined Radios ADCs Effects; RF Design Tools: Languages Flow Modeling. This is completely updated but still contains its classic timeless information. It covers two new chapters on RF Front-End Design & RF Design Tools. It it not overly math intensive perfect for the working RF & digital professional that need to build analog-RF-Wireless circuits."
