Design
of CMOS Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuits
This comprehensive book sets out in detail how to design
gigahertz-speed radio-frequency integrated circuits in CMOS technology.
Starting with a history of radio to establish a foundation and to
differentiate the discrete era from the IC age, the book reviews passive
RLC networks, the characteristics of IC components, and transistor models.

Electromagnetics
Explained: A Handbook for Wireless/RF, EMC, and High-Speed Electronics
Based on familiar circuit theory and basic physics, this book serves
as an invaluable reference for both analog and digital engineers alike.
For those who work with analog RF, this book is a must-have resource. With
computers and networking equipment of the 21st century running at such
high frequencies, it is now crucial for digital designers to understand
electromagnetic fields, radiation and transmission lines.

GPRS:
Gateway to Third Generation Mobile Networks
This innovative new book explains how GPRS (general packet radio
service) allows you to expand your GSM networks towards third generation
mobile communications to meet the demands of the most-sophisticated mobile
data applications. The book concentrates on the interfaces between the
known GSM network elements and the new subsystems -- PCU, SGSN, and GGSN
-- that come with GPRS. It offers you an in-depth explanation of the
extensions and methods of the GSM air interface necessary for GPRS and
shows how the channel-oriented GSM is linked to the packet switched GPRS.
Moreover, it explains what extensions there are in channel coding, how
resources are allocated on the air interface, and how the quick network
access necessary for GPRS is made possible.

Adaptive
WCDMA: Theory and Practice
Adaptive WCDMA covers the latest theoretical principals and practice
of wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), which is the basis for
the physical layer of the third generation mobile communications systems.
The focus of this volume is on implementation losses characterising the
system degradation due to imperfect implementation and in turn how much of
the performance promised by theory should be expected in practical
solutions based on a given technology, which is not perfect but has finite
cost and power consumption. It also provides a significant amount of
material related to the further developments and improvements (beyond 3G)
especially sections on adaptive WCDMA and modifications for
implementations in ad hoc networks.
