A survey of microwave technology tailored for professionals inwireless communications
RF Technologies for Low Power WirelessCommunications updates recent developments in wirelesscommunications from a hardware design standpoint and offersspecialized coverage of microwave technology with a focus on thelow power wireless units required in modern wireless systems. Itexplores results of recent research that focused on a holistic,integrated approach to the topics of materials, devices, circuits,modulation, and architectures rather than the more traditionalapproach of research into isolated topical areas.
Twelve chapters deal with various fundamental research aspectsof low power wireless electronics written by world-class experts ineach field. The first chapter offers an overview of wirelessarchitecture and performance, followed by detailed coverage of:
* Advanced GaAs-based HBT designs
* InP-based devices and circuits
* Si/SiGe HBT technology
* Noise in GaN devices
* Power amplifier architectures and nonlinearities
* Planar-oriented components
* MEMS and micromachined components
* Resonators, filters, and low-noise oscillators
* Antennas
* Transceiver front-end architectures
With a clear focus and expert contributors, RFTechnologies for Low Power Wireless Communications will beof interest to a wide range of electrical engineering disciplinesworking in wireless technologies.
