Summary

With wireless technology rapidly exploding, there is a growing need for circuit design information specific to wireless applications. The second edition of RF/Circuit Design for Wireless Applications is a unique, state-of-the-art guide to wireless integrated circuit design. The authors provide a complete set of modeling, design, and implementation tools for tackling even the newest technologies, such as HBTs, CMOS, BiCMOS, and GaN. It also features updated examples as well as coverage of the design of power amplifiers and new telecommunication standards such as 4G, making this a must-have reference for circuit designers, engineers, researchers, software developers, and graduate students.
