This comprehensive textbook is designed to cater to a diverse audience, including senior undergraduate and graduate students, as well as practicing engineers engaged in the design and analysis of radio frequency (RF) circuits. It employs fully-solved, tutorial-like examples to effectively impart key concepts and facilitate a deep understanding of the fundamental sub-circuits necessary for constructing an RF transceiver and an entire communication system.

The book begins by reviewing the principles of electromagnetic (EM) transmission and signal propagation, providing a solid foundation for subsequent chapters. It then delves into a detailed practical analysis of RF amplifier, mixer, modulator, demodulator, and oscillator circuit topologies, covering essential concepts and design considerations. Additionally, the book covers the basics of system communication theory, offering readers a comprehensive overview of the field.

Throughout the text, the author maintains a sharp focus on radio receiver design, showcasing this aspect through numerous fully-solved, realistic examples. This approach ensures that readers gain a deep understanding of the subject matter, as opposed to texts that provide a broad overview of electronics and electromagnetic without making the necessary connection to wireless communication circuit design.

The textbook is organized in a self-sufficient tutorial style, making it suitable for a one-semester university-level course. It covers all relevant topics required to study and design an RF receiver in a consistent and coherent manner, with appropriate depth to ensure a thorough understanding of the subject matter. Hundreds of fully-solved, realistic examples of radio design technology are employed to demonstrate concepts and reinforce learning.

Furthermore, the book elucidates the necessary physical/mathematical concepts and their interrelationships, providing a solid foundation for further exploration in the field. By presenting the material in a clear and concise manner, this textbook serves as a valuable resource for students, engineers, and researchers seeking to advance their knowledge and expertise in RF circuit design.
