Gabriele Manganaro holds a Dr.Eng. Degree and a Ph.D. degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Catania, Italy. He did research with ST Microelectronics and was researcher/lecturer at Texas A&M University (USA). He was a senior IC designer of data converters at Texas Instruments and then Director of Analog Baseband Design at Engim Inc. He worked for National Semiconductor holding various positions in data converter design in Salem (NH, USA) and Munich (Germany) including Design Director for High Speed Data Conversion and is now Engineering Director in High Speed Data Conversion at Analog Devices, Wilmington (MA, USA).

He has lectured in Europe and USA and served in technical committees of international conferences including the Data Conversion sub-committee of IEEE Solid-State Circuit Conference. He was Associate Editor, Deputy Editor in Chief and eventually Editor in Chief for IEEE Trans. On Circuits and Systems - Part I.

He has co-authored 60 scientific papers, the books Cellular Neural Networks (Springer, 1999) and Advanced Data Converters (Cambridge University Press, 2011), and co-edited the book Advances in Analog and RF IC Design for Wireless Communication Systems (Academic Press, 2013), received 13 US patents, and was (co-) recipient of scientific awards, including the 1999 IEEE Circuits and Systems Outstanding Young Author Award and the 2007 ESSCIRC best paper award.

He is an IEEE Fellow, a Fellow of the IET and a Member of Sigma Xi.

De la contraportada

This book gives technical introductions to the latest and most significant topics in the area of circuit design of analog/RF ICs for wireless communication systems, with an emphasis on wireless infrastructure rather than handsets. It ranges from very high performance circuits for complex wireless infrastructure systems to selected highly integrated systems for handsets and mobile devices: coverage includes power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers, modulators, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters, (DACs), and even single chip radios.

Each chapter is authored by renowned experts in the subject and includes a complete introduction, followed by the relevant most significant and recent results on the topic at hand.

This book will give researchers in industry and universities a quick grasp of the most important developments in Analog and RF IC design.

Key features include:

• Emerging research topics in RF IC design and its potential application

• Case studies and practical implementation examples

• The fundamental building blocks of a cellular base station system and satellite infrastructure

• Insights from the experts on the design and the technology trade-offs, the challenges and open questions they often face

• References to specialist papers for further reading
