Laskar J., Matinpour B., Chakraborty S. Modern Receiver Front-Ends: Systems, Circuits, and Integration

Wiley-Interscience, 2004. — 240 p. — ISBN10: 0471225916; ISBN13: 978-0471225911.This book is a practical, hands-on guidebook to advanced receiver design. It outlines today's most cutting-edge approaches to advanced receiver design, covering topics ranging from system design to circuits and integration of a full solution. Bridging the gap between analytical understanding of radio-frequency integrated circuit (RF IC) design and the limitations associated with practical implementation, the text offers a breadth of coverage second to none.An ideal resource for entry-level designers and students of circuit design, the book addresses:
The actual implementation of wireless systems.
A range of practical issues associated with receiver design, including semiconductor technology selection, cost versus performance, yield, prototype development, testing, and analysis.
The architectures employed in modern broadband wireless systems.
The fundamental challenges in receiver design, from IC implementation to packaging.
A wealth of tricks-of-the-trade and practical considerations.
Preparing students for the real world of RF IC design and introducing them to the multidisciplinary challenges to be encountered in the real world of IC design, the book offers an ideal bridge from university courses to standard industry practice.Describes the actual implementation of receiver architectures from the initial design to an IC-based product.
Presents many tricks-of-the-trade not usually covered in textbooks.
Covers a range of practical issues including semiconductor technology selection, cost versus performance, yield, packaging, prototype development, testing, and analysis.
