Features: This book comprehensively and deeply introduces the design of gigahertz (GHz) CMOS RF integrated circuits. It first reviews the characteristics of integrated circuit components, MOS device physics and transistor models, RLC parallel, series, and other forms of oscillation networks, as well as the characteristics of distributed systems and their differences from lumped-parameter circuits. Then, it discusses in detail the design of modern high-frequency broadband amplifiers. Next, it introduces key RF functional blocks, including low-noise amplifiers (LNA), reference voltage sources, mixers, RF power amplifiers, oscillators, and frequency synthesizers. Finally, it explores the overall structure of transceivers and looks ahead to the future development prospects of RF circuits. The book includes many useful circuit diagrams and other illustrations. Except for the first and last chapters, each chapter is followed by numerous thought-provoking exercises, making it an ideal textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students studying courses in RF electronics. It is also a very valuable reference book for engineers working in RF IC design or related fields.
