Radio Frequency Circuit Design, 2nd Edition

ISBN: 978-0-470-76802-0

October 2010

Wiley-IEEE Press

424 pages

Description
This book focuses on components such as filters, transformers, amplifiers, mixers, and oscillators. Even the phase lock loop chapter (the last in the book) is oriented toward practical circuit design, in contrast to the more systems orientation of most communication texts.
About the Author
W. ALAN DAVIS is a professor in the department of electrical engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington. He was previously employed at Raytheon, where he worked on IMPATT diode power combiners, thermal response of IMPATT diodes, broadband directional couplers, Schiffman phase shifters, and filter design. He was also involved in computer optimization techniques and in software design for automated test stations. More recently, Davis has worked on nonlinear parametric effects and self-heating effects of silicon on insulator transistors.
New to Edition
  • This book expands upon the first edition to include novel applications of RF technology, an area which continues to grow and evolve.
