Fundamentals of High Frequency CMOS Analog Integrated Circuits

This textbook is ideal for senior undergraduate and graduate courses in RF CMOS circuits,RF circuit design,and high-frequency analog circuit design. It employs a design-centric approach to bridge the gap between fundamental analog electronic circuits textbooks and advanced RF IC design texts. The second edition has been revised extensively to expand key topics, clarify explanations, and provide design examples and problems. New material has been added for basic coverage of core topics, such as wide-band LNAs, noise feedback concept and noise cancellation, inductive-compensated band widening techniques, and basic communication system concepts.

This comprehensive textbook is an invaluable resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in RF CMOS circuits, RF circuit design, and high-frequency analog circuit design. With a focus on electronics engineering students and IC design engineers seeking to delve deeper into circuit fundamentals and transcend the limitations of widely-used automated design procedures, the authors adopt a design-centric approach to bridge the gap between fundamental analog electronic circuits textbooks and more advanced RF IC design texts.

The book systematically introduces the structure and operation of the building blocks of high-frequency ICs, emphasizing transistor-level operation, the influence of device characteristics and parasitic effects, and input-output behavior in the time and frequency domains. In this revised second edition, key topics have been expanded upon, explanations have been clarified, and extensive design examples and problems have been provided. New material has been added to cover essential core topics, including wide-band LNAs, noise feedback concept and noise cancellation, inductive-compensated band widening techniques for achieving flat-gain or flat-delay characteristics, and fundamental communication system concepts that harness the convergence and co-existence of Analog and Digital building blocks in RF systems.

Furthermore, a dedicated chapter (Chapter 5) has been introduced to address noise and linearity in a comprehensive manner, covering key topics such as noise sources, noise reduction techniques, and linearity considerations in RF circuits. All other chapters have undergone extensive revision and rewriting, incorporating numerous solved design examples and exercise problems to enhance the learning experience.

By presenting a balanced blend of theoretical concepts and practical applications, this textbook equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in the field of RF CMOS circuits, RF circuit design, and high-frequency analog circuit design. It serves as a valuable reference for both academicians and professionals seeking to advance their understanding of these complex topics and contribute to the development of cutting-edge electronic systems.
