Wireless Communications Circuits and Systems

PBCS016E * ISBN: 9780852964439

This book is concerned with integrated circuits and systems for
wireless and mobile communications. Circuit techniques and
implementation of reconfigurable low-voltage and low-power
single-chip CMOS transceivers for multiband and multi mode
universal wireless communications are the focus of the book.
Applications encompass both long-range mobile cellular
communications (GSM and UMTS) and short-range wireless LANs
(IEEE802.11 and Bluetooth). Recent advances in research into
transceiver architecture, RF frontend, analogue baseband, RF CAD
and automatic testing are reported. The book, containing ten
chapters, covers topics including receiver architectures,
reconfigurable and programmable analogue base band arrays, design
and on-chip tuning of active IC filters including polyphase
filters, receiver front-end modules (LNA, VCO, mixer) and chips,
transmit power amplifiers, parasitic-aware RF design and
optimisation, and on-chip testing of communication ICs. The book
can be used as a text or reference book for a broad range of
readers from both academia and industry.
