    RF Microelectronics

    The Acclaimed RF Microelectronics Best-Seller, Expanded and Updated for the Newest Architectures, Circuits, and Devices

    Wireless communication has become almost as ubiquitous as electricity, but RF design continues to challenge engineers and researchers.

    He has also served as Guest Editor and Associate Editor of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems, and International Journal of High Speed Electronics.

     

    Professor Razavi received the Beatrice Winner Award for Editorial Excellence at the 1994 ISSCC, the best paper award at the 1994 European Solid-State Circuits Conference, the best panel award at the 1995 and 1997 ISSCC, the TRW Innovative Teaching Award in 1997, the best paper award at the IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference in 1998, and the McGraw-Hill First Edition of the Year Award in 2001.

    Since 1996, he has been Associate Professor and subsequently Professor of electrical engineering at University of California, Los Angeles. In the 15 years since the first edition of this classic text, the demand for higher performance has led to an explosive growth of RF design techniques. He received the Lockheed Martin Excellence in Teaching Award in 2006, the UCLA Faculty Senate Teaching Award in 2007, and the CICC Best Invited Paper Award in 2009 and in 2012.

    Razavi's teachings culminate in a new chapter that begins with WiFi's radio specifications and, step by step, designs the transceiver at the transistor level.

    Coverage includes

    • Core RF principles, including noise and nonlinearity, with ties to analog design, microwave theory, and communication systems
    • An intuitive treatment of modulation theory and wireless standards from the standpoint of the RF IC designer
    • Transceiver architectures such as heterodyne, sliding-IF, directconversion, image-reject, and low-IF topologies.

      He is the author of Principles of Data Conversion System Design (IEEE Press, 1995), RF Microelectronics (Prentice Hall, 1998, 2012) (translated to Chinese, Japanese, and Korean), Design of Analog CMOS Integrated Circuits (McGraw-Hill, 2001, 2016) (translated to Chinese, Japanese, and Korean), Design of Integrated Circuits for Optical Communications (McGraw-Hill, 2003, Wiley, 2012), and Fundamentals of Microelectronics (Wiley, 2006) (translated to Korean and Portuguese), and the editor of Monolithic Phase-Locked Loops and Clock Recovery Circuits (IEEE Press, 1996), and Phase-Locking in High-Performance Systems (IEEE Press, 2003).

      With his lucid prose, Razavi now

      • Offers a stronger tutorial focus along with hundreds of examples and problems
      • Teaches design as well as analysis with the aid of step-by-step design procedures and a chapter dedicated to the design of a dual-band WiFi transceiver
      • Describes new design paradigms and analysis techniques for circuits such as low-noise amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, and frequency dividers

      This edition's extensive coverage includes brand new chapters on mixers, passive devices, integer-N synthesizers, and fractional-N synthesizers.

      In RF Microelectronics, Second Edition, Behzad Razavi systematically teaches the fundamentals as well as the state-of-the-art developments in the analysis and design of RF circuits and transceivers.

      Razavi has written the second edition to reflect today's RF microelectronics, covering key topics in far greater detail.

      dblp is humbly asking you for your kind support.

      The dblp computer science bibliography is, and will always be, a free and non-profit service for the international computer science community, and a common good for our community.

      Today, the global service provided by dblp faces a strong increase in demand.

      His current research includes wireless transceivers, frequency synthesizers, phase-locking and clock recovery for high-speed data communications, and data converters.

       

      Professor Razavi was an Adjunct Professor at Princeton University from 1992 to 1994, and at Stanford University in 1995. He was also the recipient of the American Society for Engineering Education PSW Teaching Award in 2014.

       

      Professor Razavi has served as an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer and is a Fellow of IEEE.

      Thank you for contributing to dblp’s future!

       

      Behzad Razavi received the BSEE degree from Sharif University of Technology in 1985 and the MSEE and PhDEE degrees from Stanford University in 1988 and 1992, respectively. He was the co-recipient of both the Jack Kilby Outstanding Student Paper Award and the Beatrice Winner Award for Editorial Excellence at the 2001 ISSCC.

      He received the 2012 Donald Pederson Award in Solid-State Circuits. However, its net budget is shrinking. He was the co-recipient of the 2012 and the 2015 VLSI Circuits Symposium Best Student Paper Awards and the 2013 CICC Best Paper Award.
