Designing a system for communication over RF is a dark art. It’s an obscure domain filled with photonmancy, wires going every which way, and imaginary numbers. RF is reserved entirely for wizards.

This is not a trivial task. This chapter introduces the RF technology and its fundamentals. RF stands for radio frequency. The frequencies falling between 3 kHz and 300 GHz are called radio ...

We have RF emissions standards to thank, which ensure new products don’t spew forth errant signals that would interfere with the data signals traveling through the ether. It’s long been the ...

Modern microwave and wireless communications systems are often too complex to permit their complete simulation at the transistor level of description. The very large number of nonlinear equations to ...
