Researchers from Malaysia and Tunisia describe monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMIC) being developed for multi-band multi-standard systems that allow users to access different cellular and wireless standards with one mobile device. The 11 contributions discuss several different designs for low noise amplifiers, power amplifiers, and variable signal generators. The closing chapter illustrates the characterization of a monolithic, integrated low noise amplifier and mixer on bench instruments and automated test equipment. B&w circuit schematics and diagrams are provided. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
