Informationen zum Autor Richard Chi-Hsi Li has designed RF/RFIC circuits at Motorola and other companies for more than twenty years. He has also taught a training course entitled "RF/RFIC Circuit Design." Klappentext A Must-Read for all RF/RFIC Circuit DesignersThis book targets the four most difficult skills facing RF/RFIC designers today: impedance matching, RF/AC grounding, Six Sigma design, and RFIC technology. Unlike most books on the market, it presents readers with practical engineering design examples to explore how they're used to solve ever more complex problems. The content is divided into three key parts:* Individual RF block circuit design* Basic RF circuit design skills* RF system engineeringThe author assumes a fundamental background in RF circuit design theory, and the goal of the book is to enable readers to master the correct methodology. The book includes treatment of special circuit topologies and introduces some useful schemes for simulation and layout.This is a must-read for RF/RFIC circuit design engineers, system designers working with communication systems, and graduates and researchers in related fields. Zusammenfassung This book targets the two most difficult skills facing RF/RFIC designer: impedance matching and RF/RFIC grounding. The selection, organization, and treatment of the subjects in this book are quite different from other books related to RF/RFIC design. This enables RF circuit designers to master the correct methodology of RF circuit design. Inhaltsverzeichnis PREFACE. PART I INDIVIDUAL RF BLOCKS. 1.
