Introduction to Radio Electronics
Introduces logarithmic scales in
radio frequency (RF) units, superheterodyne and Zero
intermediate frequency (IF) radio communication architectures, receiver
characterization, transceiver architectures, and operation of basic radio
blocks. Covers the Smith chart, S-parameters, Impedance matching, analysis
and design of RF circuit blocks including low noise amplifiers, mixers, and
power amplifiers. Discusses limitations due to power, frequency, and
nonlinear distortions.
