With a billion - soon to be two billion - cellular telephones in circulation, the next challenge is to make cellular radio functions adaptive to their environment. This book provides a comprehensive theoretical framework for optimizing performance, discussing joint optimization of Noise Figure and Input Intercept Point in receiver systems. Also examined are original techniques to optimize voltage controlled oscillators and low-noise amplifiers, minimizing power consumption while maintaining adequate system performance.

From the reviews:
"Tasic and colleagues (all, Delft Univ. of Technology, Netherlands) have as their objective the design of methodologies as well as proof of concept for radio frequency (RF) electronic integrated circuits that trade performance for power consumption in an adaptive way. ... Written primarily as a resource for practicing engineers and graduate students majoring in electrical engineering. Numerous references. For libraries associated with academic programs in electrical engineering. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (F. A. Cassara, CHOICE, Vol. 44 (10), June, 2007)
Prof. John Long is a well known figure in the RF community and Dr. Wouter Serdijn has (co)authored several books with Springer before.
