Features: This book is the second edition of CMOS RF IC Design. Acclaimed as a guide to RF IC design, this work provides a comprehensive and in-depth introduction to the details of designing gigahertz (GHz) CMOS RF ICs. It begins with a brief overview of the history of radio and wireless system principles. Building on a review of the characteristics of integrated circuit components, MOS device physics and models, RLC series and parallel resonators, and other oscillation networks, as well as the characteristics of distributed systems, it introduces Smith charts, S-parameters, and bandwidth estimation techniques. It emphasizes modern high-frequency broadband amplifier design methods and discusses in detail key RF circuit modules, including low-noise amplifiers (LNA), reference voltage sources, mixers, RF power amplifiers, oscillators, and frequency synthesizers. The book also delves deeply into various types of noise and noise characteristics in RF ICs, including phase noise in oscillators. In the end, it examines the overall structure of transceivers and looks ahead to the future development prospects of RF circuits. The book includes many practical circuit diagrams and illustrations, along with thought-provoking exercises, making it an ideal textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in RF electronics. It is also a highly beneficial reference for engineers and technicians working in RF IC design or other practical fields.
