Radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) are an important part of today's wireless communications devices and infrastructure. An RFIC design approach involving cutting-edge bipolar technologies (GaAs HBT or SiGe HBT) has gained popularity among engineers due to its ability to maximize performance; however, it has been largely ignored in professional reference books. This book fills the gap, offering practitioners a detailed treatment of this increasingly important topic. From discussions of key applications (Bluetooth, UWB, GPS, WiMax) and architectures… to in-depth coverage of fabrication technologies and amplifier design to a look at performance tradeoffs and production costs, this book arms engineers with complete design know-how for their challenging work in thefield. INDICE:Applications. RFIC Architectures. InGap/GaAs HBT Fabrication Technology. SiGe HBT Fabrication Technology. Passive Circuit Design. Amplifier Design Basics. Low Noise Amplifier Design. Power Amplifier Design. Designing Multistage Amplifiers. Mixer/Modulator Design. Frequency Multipliers. Voltage Controlled Oscillators. Layout Design Strategies. RFIC Economics.
