A Must-Read for all RF/RFIC Circuit Designers
This book targets the four most difficult skills facing RF/RFIC
designers today: impedance matching, RF/AC grounding, Six Sigma
design, and RFIC technology. Unlike most books on the market, it
presents readers with practical engineering design examples to
explore how they're used to solve ever more complex problems. The
content is divided into three key parts:
* Individual RF block circuit design
* Basic RF circuit design skills
* RF system engineering
The author assumes a fundamental background in RF circuit design
theory, and the goal of the book is to enable readers to master the
correct methodology. The book includes treatment of special circuit
topologies and introduces some useful schemes for simulation and
layout.
This is a must-read for RF/RFIC circuit design engineers, system
designers working with communication systems, and graduates and
researchers in related fields.
