Circuits and Applications Using Silicon Heterostructure Devices [PDF ebook] 

No matter how you slice it, semiconductor devices power the communications revolution. Skeptical? Imagine for a moment that you could flip a switch and instantly remove all the integrated circuits from planet Earth. A moment’s reflection would convince you that there is not a single field of human endeavor that would not come to a grinding halt, be it commerce, agriculture, education, medicine, or entertainment. Life, as we have come to expect it, would simply cease to exist.Drawn from the comprehensive and well-reviewed Silicon Heterostructure Handbook, this volume covers Si Ge circuit applications in the real world. Edited by John D. Cressler, with contributions from leading experts in the field, this book presents a broad overview of the merits of Si Ge for emerging communications systems. Coverage spans new techniques for improved LNA design, RF to millimeter-wave IC design, Si Ge MMICs, Si Ge Millimeter-Wave ICs, and wireless building blocks using Si Ge HBTs. The book provides a glimpse into the future, as envisioned by industry leaders.
