RF Microelectronics (Prentice Hall Communications Engineering and Emerging Technologies) Review: 2nd Edition is Amazing! - Well, as I stated in other Dr. Razavi's book reviews, it's my pleasure to own and read every book written by Dr. Razavi. I have been waiting for this new edition for some time, and immediately purchased this 2nd edition from desertcart.com once it's published. As an RF/analog engineer, I personally have benefited from all of his masterpieces. Many thanks for the author's great efforts, Dr. Razavi's books have influenced many engineers and students in the RF/analog area. So, how is this 2nd edition? In my opinion, it might be inappropriate to call it "2nd edition" as this is a completely new book with vast improvements from the 1st edition. We have experienced a rapid growth of RF design within last decade, and this book covers most of the fundamentals of RF circuit/system design techniques to deal with today's challenges. It's understandable that some of the readers are not happy with the 1st edition in their reviews, but this new book is totally different (Dr. Razavi says there's only 10% overlap between two editions in his preface to the 2nd edition, it's absolutely true). Here is what I like most: 1. Dedicated chapters for LNA and mixers; 2. Great coverage on passive devices; 3. Three chapters to cover frequency synthesizers, which cover fundamentals, integer-N and fractional-N synthesizers; 4. Step-by-step tutorial of modern RF transceiver design; 5. In addition to all the new materials on RF systems and circuits, one of the biggest improvements is that the author incorporated hundreds examples/problems in the book. Some help readers understand RF fundamentals, and some are very practical issues facing RF engineers. There are several errors in the book, make an online search you'll be able to find the errata to the 2nd edition. And of course, the coverage of RF design by a single book is limited though it has over 900 pages. Here are some of my recommendations if you are interested in other RF/analog materials, and they are not related to this review: Analog circuit design: Analysis and Design of Analog Integrated Circuits Design of Analog CMOS Integrated Circuits CMOS Analog Circuit Design (The Oxford Series in Electrical and Computer Engineering) CMOS Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation, 3rd Edition (IEEE Press Series on Microelectronic Systems) Analog Integrated Circuit Design RF Systems and Circuits: Radio Receiver Design RF and Microwave Transmitter Design (Wiley Series in Microwave and Optical Engineering) The Design of CMOS Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuits, Second Edition RF System Design of Transceivers for Wireless Communications Practical RF System Design Review: Very well written - This is an excellent textbook. It is very well written, thorough, has numerous real world examples, and a plentiful number of diagrams. I received my Electrical Engineering degree in 1984 at the University of Texas at Austin. I am retired now and wanted to refresh what I learned in college and also learn more current technological advances. I put together a small lab (see photo) and have purchased several text books. This book is exceptional! The author uses diagrams to illustrate different technologies. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn or refresh what they have already learned. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #615,831 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #42 in Semiconductors (Books) #50 in Microelectronics #737 in Internet & Telecommunications | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (88) | | Dimensions | 10 x 8 x 1.4 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 0137134738 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0137134731 | | Item Weight | 3.8 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Communications Engineering & Emerging Technology Series from Ted Rappaport | | Print length | 916 pages | | Publication date | September 22, 2011 | | Publisher | Pearson | ## Images ![RF Microelectronics (Prentice Hall Communications Engineering and Emerging Technologies) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hMZVqDNIL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2nd Edition is Amazing! *by R***G on December 3, 2011* Well, as I stated in other Dr. Razavi's book reviews, it's my pleasure to own and read every book written by Dr. Razavi.
