Features: This book is the second edition of "CMOS RF IC Design," hailed as a guide to RF IC design. It provides a comprehensive and in-depth introduction to the details of designing gigahertz (GHz) CMOS RF ICs. The book first briefly introduces the history of radio development and the principles of wireless systems. Building upon a review of the characteristics of integrated circuit components, MOS device physics and models, RLC series-parallel circuits 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. It provides an in-depth exploration of various types of noise and noise characteristics in RF ICs, including phase noise in oscillation circuits. The book concludes by examining the overall structure of transceivers and looking ahead to the future prospects of RF circuit development. It includes numerous practical circuit diagrams and illustrations, along with many 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.
