RF Circuit Design, Second Edition
Book Description The 25th anniversary edition of this engineering classic; now taking the place of worn out copies everywhere! Product Description Its Back! New chapters, examples, and insights; all infused with the timeless concepts and 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, WiMax, and ZigBee. Most, if not all, mobile devices have an RF component and this book tells the reader how to design and integrate that component in a very practical fashion. This book has been updated to include today's integrated circuit (IC) and system-level design issues as well as keeping its classic "wire lead" material. Design Concepts and Tools Include The Basics: Wires, Resistors, Capacitors, Inductors Resonant Circuits: Resonance, Insertion Loss Filter Design: High-pass, Bandpass, Band-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 RF Front-End: Architectures, Software-Defined Radios, ADCs Effects RF Design Tools: Languages, Flow, Modeling Check out this books companion Web site at: http://books.elsevier.com/9780750685184 for full-color Smith Charts and extra content! *Completely updated but still contains its classic timeless information *Two NEW chapters on RF Front-End Design and RF Design Tools *Not overly math intensive, perfect for the working RF and digital professional that need to build analog-RF-Wireless circuits Reader Reviews This review is from: RF Circuit Design (Paperback) Design of RF circuits (>10MHZ or so) is tricky because when the seperation between components becomes large compared to c/Freq capacitors can act like inductors and vice versa. Using a Smith chart these changes can be acounted for and working circuits can be designed. This book is good for learning how to use a smith chart for accurate RF design. I took Propagation and Radiaton in school and was introduced to smith charts but this book makes it easy and has many worked examples while explaining the details of RF amplifier design. PS Another good book is "High Speed Digital Design: A Handbook of Black Magic" by Johnson and Graham Comment | | (Report this)
