Examining the most important developments in highly integrated wireless RF front ends, this book describes and evaluates both active and passive solutions for on-chip high-Q filtering, and explores M-phase filters in depth. An accessible step-by-step approach is used to introduce everything an RF designer needs to know about these filters, including their various forms, principles of operation, and their performance against implementation-related imperfections. Real-world examples are described in depth, and detailed mathematical analyses demonstrate the practical quantification of pertinent circuit parameters.

This newly revised and expanded edition of the 2003 Artech House classic, Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit Design, serves as an up-to-date, practical reference for complete RFIC know-how. The second edition includes numerous updates, including greater coverage of CMOS PA design, RFIC design with on-chip components, and more worked examples with simulation results. By emphasizing working designs, this book practically transports you into the authors' own RFIC lab so you can fully understand the function of each design detailed in this book. Among the RFIC designs examined are RF integrated LC-based filters, VCO automatic amplitude control loops, and fully integrated transformer-based circuits, as well as image reject mixers and power amplifiers.If you are new to RFIC design, you can benefit from the introduction to basic theory so you can quickly come up to speed on how RFICs perform and work together in a communications device. A thorough examination of RFIC technology guides you in knowing when RFICs are the right choice for designing a communication device. This leading-edge resource is packed with over 1,000 equations and more than 435 illustrations that support key topics.

This is a practical guide and introduction to the design of key RF building blocks used in high data rate transmitters. The emphasis lies on CMOS circuit techniques applicable to oscillators and upconvertors. Furthermore, a method for RF-specific design automation is exemplified by the CYCLONE tool for automated LC-VCO synthesis.

This practical resource offers you detailed guidance on the impact of substrate noise on a wide range of circuits operating from baseband frequencies up to mm-wave frequencies. This unique book presents case studies to illustrate that careful modeling of the assembly characteristics and layout details is required to bring simulations and measurements into agreement. You learn how to use a proper combination of isolation structures and circuit techniques to make analog/RF circuits more immune to substrate noise.

Mit der Einführung des Mobilfunkstandards der 5. Generation (5G) halten mm-Wellen- und Sub-THz Systeme Einzug in den Mainstream der drahtlosen kommerziellen Kommunikationstechnik. Da Frequenzbänder jenseits von 100 GHz (wie z. B. innerhalb desD-Bandes von 110-170 GHz) neuartige und kompakte Systeme, sowie die effiziente Nutzung großer Gesamtbandbreiten von mehreren 10 GHz ermöglichen, genießen sie derzeit in Forschung und Entwicklung ein gesteigertes Interesse. Mit den für die 6. Mobilfunkgeneration (6G) prognostizierten Datenraten in der Größenordnung mehrerer 100 Gbit/s erwachsen damit auch neue technische Herausforderungen und dementsprechende Lösungsansätze.Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Entwurf und der Charakterisierung breitbandiger Hochfrequenzkomponenten für Sender und Empfänger im D-Band unter Einsatz aktueller SiGe BiCMOS Technologien. Neben der einführenden Betrachtungtheoretischer und technologischer Möglichkeiten wird eine (teil-)automatisierte Designmethodik eingeführt, welche zur Unterstützung des Schaltungsentwurfs in dieser Arbeit verwendet wurde. Letzteres gilt insbesondere für den Einsatz und die Optimierung passiver, leitungsbasierter Komponenten, wie Anpassnetzwerke und Koppler. Diese eignen sich dank kleiner Wellenlängen oberhalb von 100 GHz für die Chipintegration und weiseninhärent breitbandige Eigenschaften auf.

No matter which type of communications device requiring RFICs you are designing, you can turn to this comprehensive reference for a practical explanation of the full range of RFICs. This book focuses mainly on bipolar technology to demonstrate circuits, but CMOS is included as well. By emphasizing working designs, this book practically transports you into the authors’ own RFIC lab so you can fully understand the function of each design detailed in this book. Among the RFIC designs examined are RF integrated LC-based filters, VCO automatic amplitude control loops, and fully integrated transformer-based circuits, as well as image reject mixers and power amplifiers.

RF and Microwave Circuit Design Provides up-to-date coverage of the fundamentals of high-frequency microwave technology, written by two leading voices in the field RF and Microwave Circuit Design: Theory and Applications is an authoritative, highly practical introduction to basic RF and microwave circuits. With an emphasis on real-world examples, the text explains how distributed circuits using microstrip and other planar transmission lines can be designed and fabricated for use in modern high-frequency passive and active circuits and sub-systems. The authors provide clear and accurate guidance on each essential aspect of circuit design, from the theory of transmission lines to the passive and active circuits that form the basis of modern high-frequency circuits and sub-systems. Assuming a basic grasp of electronic concepts, the book is organized around first principles and includes an extensive set of worked examples to guide student readers with no prior grounding in the subject of high-frequency microwave technology. Throughout the text, detailed coverage of practical design using distributed circuits demonstrates the influence of modern fabrication processes.
