RF circuit design [a best-seller now thoroughly revised ; two new chapters on RF front-end design and RF design tools ; perfect for the practical, hard-working RF professional

Essential reading for experts in the field of RF circuit design and engineers needing a good reference. This book provides complete design procedures for multiple-pole Butterworth, Chebyshev, and Bessel filters. It also covers capacitors, inductors, and other components with their behavior at RF frequencies discussed in detail. \*Provides complete design procedures for multiple-pole Butterworth, Chebyshev, and Bessel filters\*Covers capacitors, inductors, and other components with their behavior at RF frequencies discussed in detail 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 Content: Inside Front Cover, Page 2 Front Matter, Page 3 Copyright, Page 4 PREFACE, Pages 5-6 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, Page 6 Dedication, Page 6 CHAPTER 1 - COMPONENTS, Pages 9-30 CHAPTER 2 - RESONANT CIRCUITS, Pages 31-43 CHAPTER 3 - FILTER DESIGN, Pages 44-65 CHAPTER 4 - IMPEDANCE MATCHING, Pages 66-97 CHAPTER 5 - THE TRANSISTOR AT RADIO FREQUENCIES, Pages 98-116 CHAPTER 6 - SMALL-SIGNAL RF AMPLIFIER DESIGN, Pages 117-149 CHAPTER 7 - RF POWER AMPLIFIERS, Pages 150-163 APPENDIX A - VECTOR ALGEBRA, Pages 164-166 APPENDIX B - NOISE CALCULATIONS, Pages 167-169 APPENDIX C - BIBLIOGRAPHY, Pages 170-171 INDEX, Pages 172-176 Essential reading for experts in the field of RF circuit design and engineers needing a good reference.
