RF Circuit Design is the book engineers have been handing to beginners for a quarter century, and the reviews say it still earns that.
Details
Components first, and specifically how a resistor, capacitor or inductor stops behaving like itself once the frequency climbs.
Then resonance and insertion loss, filters of every shape, impedance matching with the L network and the Smith chart, then transistor parameters.
What's inside
Amplifiers get two passes, small signal and then power, with the practical winding and shutdown detail a textbook usually leaves out.
The front end chapter reaches modern ground: architectures, software defined radio, and the effects a converter brings with it.
Who it's for
One reviewer went from nothing to a working Chebyshev filter sketch in an afternoon. That is the level it pitches at, worked examples you can copy.
From the publisher
It's 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 today's 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.
