Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits and Systems / Edition 2

by Hooman Darabi

Overview

This updated and expanded new edition equips students with a thorough understanding of the state-of-the-art in radio frequency (RF) design and the practical knowledge and skills needed in industry. Introductory and advanced topics are covered in-depth, with clear step-by-step explanations, including core topics such as RF components, signals and systems, two-ports, noise, distortion, low-noise amplifiers, power amplifiers, and transceiver architectures. New material has been added on wave propagation, skin effect, antennas, mixers and oscillators, and digital PAs and transmitters. Two new chapters detail the analysis and design of RF and IF filters (including SAW and FBAR duplexers and N-path filters), phase-locked loops, frequency synthesizers, digital PLLs, and frequency dividers. Theory is linked to practice through real-world applications, practical design examples, and exploration of the pros and cons of various topologies. Over 250 homework problems are included, with solutions and lecture slides for instructors available online. With its uniquely practical and intuitive approach, this is an essential text for graduate courses on RFICs and a useful reference for practicing engineers.

Editorial Reviews

"[This book] should be of high interest to practicing engineers and students alike."
Asad Abidi, University of California, Los Angeles

"[An] excellent textbook for students keenly interested to learn how to design IC transceivers. [Contains] lots of focused and relevant fundamental background from a viewpoint of the well-known industrial researcher. The book is also good as a convenient refresher for seasoned IC designers."
Bogdan Staszewski, Delft University of Technology

"Although this is not the first book on RF circuits, it is the most up to date one that I know. For instance, it includes recent circuit insights to make CMOS radio receivers more interference robust. I especially like the intuition that Hooman Darabi develops and the depth of coverage without becoming overly mathematical."
Eric Klumperink, University of Twente
