This second edition links two key themes; how system level decisions affect component and subsystem design and how the capabilities of technologies, components, and subsystems impact system design.
The book has been updated and considerably expanded with current wireless systems and sections on 4G and the technologies behind 5G cellular communications. A new chapter on RF modules has been introduced, as well as chapters on Mixer and Source Modules, Parallel Coupled Line Filters, Wideband Amplifiers, Power Amplifiers and Oscillators.
Based on feedback from the academic and professional communities, Dr Steer has made extensive improvements to this textbook including:
-
Reorganised and updated material from the 1st Edition
-
Six new chapters
-
10 real-world case studies of leading edge designs
-
45 worked examples
-
4G and the technologies behind 5G cellular communications
-
19 additional exercises per chapter
-
Addition of answers to selected exercises
