RF Microelectonics 2nd Edition

The Acclaimed RF Microelectronics Best-Seller, Expanded and Updated for the Newest Architectures, Circuitry, and Devices

Wireless communication is now almost as ubiquitous as electricity. However, the design and implementation of RF circuits and transceivers remains challenging, requiring a broad understanding of multiple disciplines, the management of complex tradeoffs, and innovative solutions for issues ranging from power to area consumption. In RF Microelectronics, Second Edition,Behzad Razavi systematically teaches the state-of-the-art in RF analysis and design, from specification through practical solution.

Razavi has thoroughly revised this classic text to incorporate the latest developments in RF architecture, circuits, and devices, covering all key topics in far greater detail. This editions stronger tutorial focus makes it even more valuable to students, and its deeper coverage of new technologies and analysis methods makes it indispensable to working engineers.

This editions extensive new coverage includes brand new chapters on integrated inductors and varactors, phase-locked loops (PLLs), and millimeter-wave techniques. Another new chapter presents complete examples of transceiver design for Bluetooth, WLANs, and UWB. Each case study begins with the specifications provided by the standard, and then derives required circuit performance.
