A transistor-level, design-intensive overview of high speed and high frequency monolithic integrated circuits for wireless and broadband systems from 2 GHz to 200 GHz, this comprehensive text covers high-speed, RF, mm-wave and optical fiber circuits using nanoscale CMOS, SiGe BiCMOS and III-V technologies. Step-by-step design methodologies, end-of-chapter problems and practical simulation and design projects are provided, making this an ideal resource for senior undergraduate and graduate courses in circuit design. With an emphasis on device-circuit topology interaction and optimization, it gives circuit designers and students alike an in-depth understanding of device structures and process limitations affecting circuit performance.

'… the ideal companion for circuit designers wishing to grasp the challenges of circuit design above RF … takes the reader from system specification down to the transistor and presents the circuit analysis that underlies every RF circuit designer's intuition.'

James Buckwalter - University of California, San Diego

'Both experienced designers and newcomers in the field will appreciate this book … many detailed design recipes and tricks - often with a link to the underlying IC technologies - that are seldom found in related textbooks.'

Piet Wambacq - University of Brussels and IMEC

'… a unique encyclopaedic ‘dictionary’ for an in-depth understanding of high-speed and high-frequency microelectronic design. Original, dense of details, clear and focused on the modern design challenges … the first book of a new class with a profound look at the road ahead.'

Domenico Zito - University College Cork

'Destined to become a classic reference in high frequency RFICs … comprehensive coverage of a vast array of integrated circuits and systems … exceptional tutorial value … presents the state-of-the-art in microwave and millimeter-wave systems-on-chip.'

Gabriel M. Rebeiz - University of California, San Diego

'… [an] easy-to-read book on the subject of high-frequency circuits … Highly recommended. Graduate students, researchers/faculty, and practicing engineers working with high-frequency applications.'
