Features: "This book is rich in content and presents the standard engineering topics in a fresh and innovative way. It reflects the author's unique perspective and lifelong experience in engineering and radio science, with sharp insights evident throughout. Even for those who think they already understand the field, reading this book is a very enjoyable experience." — Paul Horowitz, Co-author of The Art of Electronics. This book introduces the fundamental concepts and key circuits of RF systems, including the basic principles used in various wireless devices (from wireless data transceivers on semiconductor chips to high-power broadcast transmitters). The topics covered include filters, amplifiers, oscillators, matching networks, modulators, low-noise amplifiers, phase-locked loops, transmission lines, and transformers, among others. For each topic, it emphasizes important physical concepts while maintaining precise analysis. Additionally, it explores the applications of RF systems in fields such as communications, radio and television broadcasting, radar, and radio astronomy. This book serves as the textbook for the RF circuit course at Cornell University and is suitable for students in electrical and information engineering. It is also a valuable reference for researchers and professional engineers in the field, as well as those transitioning into wireless communications.
