Synopsis

This comprehensive and insightful book sets out in detail how to design gigahertz-speed radio-frequency integrated circuits in CMOS technology. Starting with a history of radio to establish a foundation and to differentiate the discrete era from the IC age, the book reviews passive RLC networks, the characteristics of IC components and transistor models. The design of high-frequency tuned and broadband amplifiers follows, with an emphasis on approximate methods that provide important design insight as a complement to simulation results. Key RF building blocks, such as low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), mixers, power amplifiers, high spectral purity oscillators and frequency synthesizers are studied in detail. The book closes with an examination of transceiver architectures. With over 350 circuit diagrams and illustrations, and many homework problems, this will be an ideal textbook for anyone taking advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in RF electronics, as well as a useful reference for practising engineers.

About this title

Review

"Tom Lee's love of, and deep involvement in, radio-frequency integrated circuits is immediately obvious upon glancing through this excellent and original book. Some of his viewpoints are controversial; but this, in fact, makes this stimulating, hard-to-put-down book all the more interesting." Yannis Tsividis, Columbia University "Tom Lee has written a terrific book. Everyone that visits my office wants to borrow it, and I tell them to go buy their own. The book includes the latest research by Hajimiri and Lee on phase noise in oscillators. Everything previously written on oscillators is now obsolete." Professor David Rutledge, California Institute of Technology "Comprehensive and insightful, this book details how to design gigahertz-speed radio frequency ICs in CMOS technology. An ideal textbook for graduate students or anyone taking graduate courses in RF electronics, as well as a useful reference for engineers, it contains over 350 circuit diagrams and illustrations plus numerous homework problems." Electronics Now "This is an excellent textbook on RF stuff! Tom Lee is very entertaining and makes a mundane subject like RF design very interesting. Historical footnotes give you a different perspective about circuit design. Good coverage of basics and detailed higher order analyses make this an outstanding reference for graduate students or practicing designers. I wish it had existed when I was in college!" Rajesh Zele Ph.D., analog design engineer
