The Design of CMOS Radio-Frequency
Integrated Circuits
Thomas H. Lee
ISBN: 0521639220
This comprehensive and insightful book
sets out in detail how to design gigahertz-speed radio-frequency
integrated circuits in CMOS technology. Starting with a history of
radio to establish a foundation and to differentiate the discrete
era from the IC age, the book reviews passive RLC networks, the
characteristics of IC components and transistor models. The design
of high-frequency tuned and broadband amplifiers follows, with an
emphasis on approximate methods that provide important design
insight as a complement to simulation results. Key RF building
blocks, such as low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), mixers, power
amplifiers, high spectral purity oscillators and frequency
synthesizers are studied in detail. The book closes with an
examination of transceiver architectures. With over 350 circuit
diagrams and illustrations, and many homework problems, this will
be an ideal textbook for anyone taking advanced undergraduate or
graduate courses in RF electronics, as well as a useful reference
for practising engineers.
