How data is actually moved over the air (modulation, detection, and multiple access).
The book contains numerous solved examples. Working through these step-by-step is crucial for understanding practical design trade-offs.
In the rapidly evolving world of wireless communication, radio-frequency (RF) microelectronics plays a critical role. From smartphones to IoT devices, the circuits that manage wireless signals are complex and require specialized knowledge to design.

The latest iteration of the book is the 3rd Edition. While an English version is anticipated, a Chinese translation, 射频微电子学 , has been published by China Machine Press in March 2025.
Controlled Digital Lending (CDL) platforms like the Internet Archive or Open Library occasionally host physical copies of textbooks that have been digitized. You can legally "borrow" the digital book for a set period, just like a traditional library. 3. Renting the Digital Textbook
The heterodyne (or superheterodyne) architecture translates the high-frequency RF signal down to an Intermediate Frequency (IF) before final demodulation.
The book is structured to guide readers through the complexities of RF design systematically. Key chapters include:
Detailed analysis of receiver (heterodyne, direct-conversion, low-IF) and transmitter architectures.
