Everard J. Fundamentals of Circuit Design with Low Noise Oscillators

John Wieley & Sons, Ltd. 2001. — 292 p. — ISBN: 0-470-84175-3.The aim of this book is to explain the fundamentals of the basic building blocks used in RF circuit design both at the component and intermediate dlocr level. At block level this includes low noise small signal amlplifiers. The components include bipolar transistors, FTTs, resisors, capasitors, inductors, varactor diodes and diode detectors. Charts of perfomanse parameters for chip components are included.Transistor and Component Models at Low and Higt Frequencies.
