Radio–Frequency Integrated–Circuit Engineering

This book examines the design of RFICs at both low and high microwave frequencies reaching hundreds of GHz beyond those in the traditional RF spectrum Radio–Frequency Integrated–Circuit Engineering addresses the theory, analysis and design of passive and active RFIC′s using Si–based CMOS and Bi–CMOS technologies, and other non–silicon based technologies. The materials covered are self–contained and presented in such detail that allows readers with only undergraduate electrical engineering knowledge in EM, RF, and circuits to understand and design RFICs. Organized into sixteen chapters, blending analog and microwave engineering, Radio–Frequency Integrated–Circuit Engineering emphasizes the microwave engineering approach for RFICs. • Provides essential knowledge in EM and microwave engineering, passive and active RFICs, RFIC analysis and design techniques, and RF systems vital for RFIC students and engineers. • Blends analog and microwave engineering approaches for RFIC design at high frequencies. • Includes problems at the end of each chapter. Radio–Frequency Integrated–Circuit Engineering serves as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a reference book for practicing RFIC and microwave engineers. Cam Nguyen, PhD, IEEE Fellow, is the Texas Instruments Endowed Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University. He was Program Director at the National Science Foundation during 2003–2004, responsible for research programs in RF and wireless technologies. Over the past 35 years, including 12 years at TRW, Martin Marietta, Aeroject ElectroSystems, Hughes Aircraft and ITT Gilfillan, Professor Nguyen has led numerous RF projects for wireless communications, radar and sensing; developed many RF integrated circuits and systems up to 220 GHz; published five books, six book chapters, over 255 papers; and given more than 160 conference presentations.
