This book describes a unique approach to smart receiver system design. It starts with the analysis of a very basic, single-path receiver structure, then using similar methods, extends the analysis to a more complicated multi-path receiver.

The promising high data rate wireless applications at millimeter wave frequencies in general and 60 GHz in particular have gained much attention in recent years. This book focuses on phase-locked loops for 60 GHz wireless transceivers.

Following this trend of system integration, this eventually leads to the integration of analog and d- ital components in one chip, resulting in mixed-signal ICs: digital components are required because signal processing is preferably done in the digital - main;

The RF front-end - antenna combination is a vital part of a mobile phone. This book offers a unique account of adaptive RF front-ends. It includes an analysis on the impact of fluctuating environmental parameters, and a generic protection concept is presented.
