Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit Design, Second Edition
John W.M. Rogers and Calvin Plett
This newly revised and expanded edition of the 2003 Artech House classic, Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit Design, serves as an up-to-date, practical reference for RFIC design. This edition includes numerous updates, including greater coverage of CMOS PA design, RFIC design with on-chip components, and more worked examples with simulation results. The RFIC designs examined include RF integrated LC-based filters, voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) automatic amplitude control loops, and fully integrated transformer-based circuits, as well as image reject mixers and power amplifiers.
The book starts off with an introduction to communications circuits and reviews important theory like noise, linearity, filtering, system architecture and technology issues. The book demonstrates how linearity and noise arise by including specific circuits and numerical examples. The book proceeds to cover impedance matching and design of passive circuit elements, low noise amplifiers (LNA), mixers, VCOs, synthesizers and power amplifiers. This second edition has more information on RFIC design using CMOS transistors than the original, which concentrated more on bipolar transistors.
If you are new to RFIC design, you can benefit from the introduction to basic theory and quickly come up to speed on how RFICs perform and work together in a communications device. This is an advanced level book, however, and the reader should have some background in basic circuits and transmission lines. The book includes a thorough examination of RFIC technology and explains when RFICs are the right choice for designing a communication device. It has over 1,000 equations and more than 435 illustrations that support key topics. Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit Design thoroughly covers the subject and is recommended as a good source for designers in industry and academia.
