From the Back Cover

A practical, hands-on guidebook to advanced receiver design
Radio-frequency integrated circuit (RF IC) design is one of the most important fields in modern technology, as advances in chip architecture are essential to delivering the full promise of broadband wireless communications. Modern Receiver Front-Ends outlines today's most cutting-edge approaches to advanced receiver design, covering topics ranging from system design to circuits and integration of a full solution. Bridging the gap between analytical understanding of receiver IC design and the limitations associated with practical implementation, the text offers a breadth of coverage second to none.

An ideal resource for entry-level designers and students of circuit design, the book addresses:

• The actual implementation of wireless systems
• A range of practical issues associated with receiver design, including semiconductor technology selection, cost versus performance, yield, prototype development, testing, and analysis
• The architectures employed in modern broadband wireless systems
• The fundamental challenges in receiver design, from IC implementation to packaging
• A wealth of tricks-of-the-trade and practical considerations

Preparing students for the real world of RF IC design and introducing them to the multidisciplinary challenges to be encountered in the real world of IC design, Modern Receiver Front-Ends offers an ideal bridge from university courses to standard industry practice.
