RF Design Guide Systems, Circuits and Equations

This book contains revised contributions by the speakers of the 1st IEEE Workshop on Wireless Communication Circuits and Systems, held in Lucerne, Switzerland, from June 22-24, 1998. The aim of the workshop was to demonstrate the vast expertise of the CAS Society in the area of circuit and system design to the rapidly growing field of wireless communications. The workshop combined presentations by invited experts from academia and industry with panel and informal discussions. The following topics were covered: RF System Integration (single-chip systems, CMOS RF circuits), RF Front-End Circuits (CMOS RF oscillators, broadband design techniques), Wideband Conversion for Software Radio (A/D conversion issues, wideband sub-sampling, low-spurious A/D conv...

This cutting-edge textbook with coverage matching the electronics units of many vocational engineering courses is organized with a logical learning progression, making it ideal for a wide range of electronics courses. The approach is student-centred and includes numerous examples and activities, web research topics, self test features, highlighted key facts, formulae and definitions. A companion website with interactive exercises and illustrations is included....

The volume includes a set of selected papers extended and revised from the 2011 International Conference on Mechanical Engineering and Technology, held on London, UK, November 24-25, 2011.Mechanical engineering technology is the application of physical principles and current technological developments to the creation of useful machinery and operation design. Technologies such as solid models may be used as the basis for finite element analysis (FEA) and / or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of the design. Through the application of computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), the models may also be used directly by software to create "instructions" for the manufacture of objects represented by the models, through computer numerically controlled (C...
