The explosion in the wireless industry, coupled with the higher frequencies in today's digital integrated circuits (IC) has made vital the need for accurate IC testing. This is the first book dedicated to the issues surrounding RFIC testing. This ground breaking work enables professionals to perform high-accuracy RF measurements of die and packages in the RF test lab. This timely volume defines the essential elements in an RF system, explains where errors can be found in such a system and shows how to mathematically remove them with calibration.

A reference tool for RF-, digital- and system-level designers, this book discusses the most critical topics for professionals in the field, including envelope power-management schemes and linearization. This volume builds on the author's work, "RF Power Amplifiers for Wireless Communications".

Radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) are the building blocks that enable every device from cable television sets to mobile telephones to transmit and receive signals and data. No matter what type of device they are designing, electrical engineers can turn to this comprehensive reference that examines the full spectrum of RFICs.

The second of two volumes, this is a comprehensive treatment of nonlinear circuits, introducing the advanced topics that professionals need to understand for their RF (radio frequency) circuit design work. It presents an introduction to active RF devices and their modelling, and explores nonlinear circuit simulation techniques. Design techniques are addressed for RF transistor amplifiers, oscillators, mixers and frequency multipliers. This reference concludes with an in-depth look at circuits in systems and their radio system applications, illustrating how the components are interconnected to...
