For RF Communication Circuits and Communication Systems courses at the junior/senior undergraduate level. Helping students become successful designers of useful communications products, this easy-to-read, hands-on text provides a solid circuit design and analysis resource for communications electronic applications, introducing systems and circuits in a way that keeps students involved and active in the learning process. Grounded in sound theory and engineering principles, it uses algebra-based mathematics through calculus and a logical design-and-analysis approach, and now includes the very latest information on cellular and PCS systems, digital communications, integrated circuit transceivers, and more.
