Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits and Technologies ; 2nd ed.
The operation frequencies, bandwidths and data capacities of communications systems are continuously increasing by employing advanced technologies and aggressive scaling of device dimensions. However, the restrictions inherent in scaling make the design of radio frequency integrated circuits a demanding task. To meet the corresponding challenges designers must provide profound skills in several areas including circuit theory, silicon and compound semiconductor technologies, communications standards, system design, measurement techniques, etc. The book aims at addressing all these multidisciplinary issues in a compact and comprehensive form and in a single volume. Suitable for students, engineers and scientists, the manuscript offers the necessary theoretical background together with cookbook-like optimisation strategies and state-of-the-art design examples."

Includes: Annotated case studies that follow designs from concept to completion The advantages of a hands-on, human approach to design The value of personal and career growth, and how to enjoy the journey of improvement Effective work habits that can make you more efficient, productive, and satisfied
Launching the imagination : A comprehensive guide to two-dimensional design
Launching the Imagination treats design as both a verb and a noun—as both a process and a product. Through an immersion in 2D, 3D, and 4D concepts and possibilities, students develop visual thinking strategies that will serve them throughout their studies and their careers. They discover that design is deliberate—a process of exploring a wide range of solutions and choosing the most promising option for development. They are encouraged to analyze each resulting solution thoughtfully in order to produce the clearest and most inventive solution to each assignment.
