The design and implementation of low-power CMOS radio receivers

by Derek K. Shaeffer

The Design and Implementation of Low-Power CMOS Radio Receivers explores in detail modern techniques for implementing low-power wireless receivers in an inexpensive CMOS technology Meeting the goal of receiver integration in such an "inferior" technology requires innovation in architectures, circuits and device modeling. Collectively, the scope of these problems is broad, but a successful approach will bring clear benefits for consumer electronics. This book demonstrates how CMOS can become an attractive alternative in an area that historically has been dominated by more expensive silicon bipolar and GaAs MESFET technologies. The Design and Implementation of Low-Power CMOS Radio Receivers will be of interest to professional radio engineers, circuit designers, professors and students engaged in integrated radio research and other researchers who work in the radio field.
