Summarizes the schemes and technologies in RF circuit design, describes the basic parameters of an RF system and the fundamentals of RF system design, and presents an introduction of the individual RF circuit block design.

Forming the backbone of today's mobile and satellite communications networks, radio frequency (RF) components and circuits are incorporated into everything that transmits or receives a radio wave, such as mobile phones, radio, WiFi, and walkie talkies. "RF Circuit Design, Second Edition" immerses practicing and aspiring industry professionals in the complex world of RF design.

Completely restructured and reorganized with new content, end-of-chapter exercises, illustrations, and an appendix, the book presents integral information in three complete sections: Part One explains the different methodologies between RF and digital circuit design and covers voltage and power transportation, impedance matching in narrow-band case and wide-band case, gain of a raw device, measurement, and grounding. It also goes over equipotentiality and current coupling on ground surface, as well as layout and packaging, manufacturability of product design, and radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC).Part Two includes content on the main parameters and system analysis in RF circuit design, the fundamentals of differential pair and common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR), Balun, and system-on-a-chip (SOC).Part Three covers low-noise amplifier (LNA), power amplifier (PA), voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), mixers, and tunable filters.

"RF Circuit Design," Second Edition is an ideal book for engineers and managers who work in RF circuit design and for courses in electrical or electronic engineering.

This book targets the two most difficult skills facing RF/RFIC designer: impedance matching and RF/RFIC grounding.
The content is divided into five key parts:
1. Impedance Matching (chapters 1-6)
2. RF/AC Grounding (chapters 7-8)
3. Main Electrical Parameters of a RF Block (chapters 9-11)
4. Individual RF Block Circuit Design (chapters 12-19)
5. RF System Engineering (chapters 20-22)
The selection, organization, and treatment of the subjects in this book are quite different from other books related to RF/RFIC design. The objective of the book is to enable RF circuit designers to master the correct methodology of RF circuit design. The readers are assumed to be familiar with the basic theory of RF circuit design. In addition to the unique content order, this book has some very practical design schemes that are introduced and recommended in many sections. Parts 3-5 address topics similar to other references published to date. However, the author has made many attempts to better clarify important concepts. This includes the addition of special circuit topologies and introduction of some useful schemes for simulation and layout.
In addition to the individual RF blocks' description and analysis, the main design technologies emphasized in this book include impedance matching, RF grounding, single-ended stages to different pairs, jeopardy in RFIC design, etc., in effect making the configuration of this book both longitudinal and transversal.
