This updated and expanded new edition equips students with a thorough understanding of the stateof the art in RF design and the practical knowledge and skills needed in industry. Introductory andadvanced topics are covered in depth, with clear, step-by-step explanations, including core topicssuch as RF components, signals and systems, two-ports, noise, distortion, low-noise amplifiers,power amplifiers, and transceiver architectures. New material has been added on wave propagation,skin effect, antennas, mixers and oscillators, and digital PAs and transmitters. Two new chaptersdetail the analysis and design of RF and IF filters (including SAW and FBAR duplexers and N-pathfilters), phase-locked loops, frequency synthesizers, digital PLLs, and frequency dividers. Theory islinked to practice through real-world applications, practical design examples, and exploration of thepros and cons of various topologies. Over 250 homework problems are included, with solutions andlecture slides for instructors available online. With its uniquely practical and intuitive approach, thisis an essential text for graduate courses on RFICs and a useful reference for practicing engineers.

Hooman Darabi is a Fellow of Broadcom, California, and a lecturer at the University of California,Los Angeles. His research interests include Analog and RF IC design for wireless communications.
