A much-needed, up-to-date guide to the rapidly growing area of RF circuit design, this book walks readers through a whole range of new and improved techniques for the analysis and design of receiver and transmitter circuits, illustrating them through examples from modern-day communications systems.

Updating the leading competitors, the book offers examples of systems to illustrate how the techniques described fit into a broader system.

• Presents mathematical techniques, such as S-parameters, and improved computational methods for circuit analysis.
• Discusses applications of MMICs to radio frequency design.
