Wireless Communication Electronics: Introduction to RF Circuits and Design Techniques

by Robert Sobot

Overview

This book is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students as well as practicing engineers who are involved in design and analysis of radio frequency (RF) circuits. Detailed tutorials are included on all major topics required to understand fundamental principles behind both the main sub-circuits required to design an RF transceiver and the whole communication system. Starting with review of fundamental principles in electromagnetic (EM) transmission and signal propagation, through detailed practical analysis of RF amplifier, mixer, modulator, demodulator, and oscillator circuit topologies, all the way to the system communication theory behind the RF transceiver operation, this book systematically covers all relevant aspects in a way that is suitable for a single semester university level course.

About the Author

Robert Sobot received the B.Sc. degree in engineering physics from the University of Belgrade, ex-Yugoslavia, in 1989, and the M.A.Sc. and the Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Simon Fraser University, Canada, in 1996 and 2005 respectively. In September 2014 he joined ENSEA in France as a Full Professor. From 2006 to 2015 he was with Western University in Canada as an Associate Professor, now he is an Adjunct Professor. From 1996 to 2001 he was with PMC-Sierra Inc., Canada, where he was leading projects in analog IC design. During 2012/14 he was invited researcher at the University Pierre et Marie Curie at Sorbonne (LiP6), Paris, France. Since 2010 he authored two textbooks on the topic of Wireless Communication Electronics, and he established the Implantable System Laboratory (ISL) at Western University in Canada that is dedicated to research related to wireless implantable telemetry systems.
