Preface This book is about radio frequency (RF) transceiver system design for wireless communication systems. Most digital communications texts focus on the system design of the digital base-band rather than the RF section. The text is written for RF system design engineers as well as RFIC design engineers involved in the design of radios for digital communication systems. It is also appropriate for senior undergraduates and graduate students in electrical engineering. The text develops systematic design methods of RF receivers and transmitters along with a corresponding set of comprehensive design formulas. Attention is given equally to the analysis of the RF systems. The book is focused on mobile communication systems implemented in RF application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) but it is applicable to other wireless systems such as, for examples, WLAN, Bluetooth and GPS. It covers a wide range of topics from general principles of communication theory, as it applies to digital radio designs, to specific examples on the implementation of multimode mobile systems. It is assumed that the reader has a good RF background, basic knowledge of signal and communication theory, and fundamentals of analog and mixed signal circuits. Completion of this book is the result of helps and encouragement from many individuals, to all of whom I express my sincerest thanks and appreciation. To Dr. Bjorn Bjerede, I wish to pay tribute for his constant encouragement, many valuable inputs and technical discussions during the course of writing this book. I am deeply indebted to Professor Peter Asbeck of UCSD, for his time to review the whole manuscript, and his very useful comments and helpful suggestions. Much of my RF knowledge and analysis skill were learned and developed when I was engaged in research at the Center for Electromagnetic Wave Theory and Application headed by Professor Kong, in the Research Laboratory of Electronics at MIT. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Professor Jin Au Kong of MIT for his creating and providing an academic environment in which there is much knowledge sharing, learning, and searching. My knowledge of wireless communication systems and RF transceivers was learned and accumulated from practical designs when working for wireless companies, such as, PCSI,

xiv Rockwell Semiconductor Systems and Torrey Communications, and especially for Nokia. I would like specially to thank my ex-colleague Dr. Leon Lin for initiating some Matlab programs for nonlinear system simulation. Within Nokia I wish to gratefully acknowledge managers for providing the opportunity for me to work on RF system design of multiple R&D projects, and to thank colleagues for sharing their knowledge and lab results. Special thanks are given to Mr. Greg Sutton and Dr. George Cunningham for their time to review some of the text. In addition, I would like to express my gratitude to technical reviewers, Dr. Sule Ozev, Prof. Osama Wadie Ata, Mr. Paul D. Ewing, Dr. Rolf Vogt, and Dr. Jaber Khoja for their time and very useful comments. I also wish to thank the staff of Springer, especially Editorial Director, Mr. Alex Greene and his assistant Ms. Melissa Guasch for their effective supports and advices. Finally yet importantly, I would like to thank my wife and family for understanding, patience, and unwavering support. Qizheng Gu April, 2005
