Features: The book RF Microelectronics by Behzad Razavi is suitable for use as a textbook for senior undergraduate or graduate students, as well as for engineers in integrated circuit design to enhance their knowledge and design skills. Compared to other books on RF CMOS circuits, this book features a more detailed systematic introduction. It integrates the description of wireless communication circuit systems, device characteristics, and unit circuit analysis, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding. The book is divided into 9 chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 first introduce the concepts and terminology frequently encountered in RF electronics and provide the main metrics for evaluating RF circuit performance. Chapter 3 defines and describes the modulation methods of amplitude modulation, phase modulation, and frequency modulation for analog and digital signals. Chapter 4 focuses on three multi-access technologies commonly used in wireless communication systems: FDMA, TDMA, and CDMA, as well as several common wireless communication standards, such as GSM and Qualcomm's CDMA. Chapter 5 is the highlight of the book, discussing the structure of wireless front-end transceivers and the implementation of integrated circuits. Chapters 6 to 9 provide detailed discussions on the circuit principles and analysis methods of low-noise amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, frequency synthesizers, and power amplifiers.
