The Design of CMOS Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuits

This book, first published in 2004, is an expanded and revised edition of Tom Lee's acclaimed RFIC text.

This book, first published in 2004, is an expanded and revised edition of Tom Lee's acclaimed guide to the design of gigahertz RF integrated circuits. Major changes include a new chapter on the principles of wireless systems and an update to the chapter on architectures to include examples of complete designs.This book, first published in 2004, is an expanded and thoroughly revised edition of Tom Lee's acclaimed guide to the design of gigahertz RF integrated circuits. A new chapter on the principles of wireless systems provides a bridge between system and circuit issues. The chapters on low-noise amplifiers, oscillators and phase noise have been significantly expanded. The chapter on architectures now contains several examples of complete chip designs, including a GPS receiver and a wireless LAN transceiver, that bring together the theoretical and practical elements involved in producing a prototype chip. Every section has been revised and updated with findings in the field and the book is packed with physical insights and design tips, and includes a historical overview that sets the whole field in context. With hundreds of circuit diagrams and homework problems this is an ideal textbook for students taking courses on RF design and a valuable reference for practising engineers.
