VLSI for Wireless Communication, Second Edition, an advanced level text book, takes a system approach starting with an overview of the most up to date wireless systems and the transceiver architecture available today. Wireless standards are first introduced (updated to include the most recent 3G/4G standards in the second edition), and translates from a wireless standard to the implementation of a transceiver. This system approach is particularly important as the level of integration in VLSI increases and coupling between system and component design becomes more intimate. VLSI for Wireless Communication, Second Edition, illustrates designs with full design examples. Each chapter includes at least one complete design example that helps explain the architecture/circuits presented in this text. This book has close to 10 homework problems at the end of each chapter. A complete solutions manual is available on-line. VLSI for Wireless Communication, Second Edition, is designed as a primary text book for upper-undergraduate level students and graduate level students concentrating on electrical engineering and computer science. Professional engineers and researchers working in wireless communications, circuit design and development will find this book valuable as well.

Good VLSI for Wireless book,especially for student
General : Author presents design issues with case studies that will help the readers to gain more insight. There are some unique features of the book that might not be available in other books about RF CMOS ICs. The first of all is the first chapter,"Communication Concepts:Circuit Designer Perpective." This chapter intends to provide better understanding for Circuit Designers about how numerous circuit parameters are related to required system parameters,standards and specifications. The chapter is written to help many readers or circuit designers to gain more insight to translate standards or given system parameters to achievable circuit design parameters. I also feel that Chapter 1 is good for a review of several important concepts in communication theories,wireless channels,path loss and fading in radio channels. Another unique feature of the book is the detailed explanation of VOLTERRA series,concepts of nonlinear time-variant systems. You can find several theories for analysis of nonlinear systems and noise, that are not available in other books. There is a good chapter of "Analog-to-Digital Converters" (Chapter 6) It gives a good detailed explanation of the Concepts and operation of sigma-delta modulators, as well as explanation of Low-Pass and Bandpass Sigma-Delta Modulators. In Sec.4.6 Distortion,High-frequency case, you can find nine pages of explanation for Volterra series,Nonlinear Time Invariant(NLTI) systems and its simple case of a bilinear system. You can find five pages that explain "Theory of Linear Periodic Time Variant System" for analysis of Vlo Switching Case. Chapter 7 of the book is also interesting in which the author explains significant details of several components of a typical integrated frequency synthesizer. Nonetheless, only a few sample circuits are shown to learn the design, maybe the author would like to allocate more space or pages for detailed explanation of important concepts and theories. Anyway, the sample circuits seem suitable for the particular design task. The author might already consider to select the best configuration from many available. W/L of MOS transistors in some numerical examples are very large.The book should have a section to explain real-world realization of large W/L given current CMOS technology. Author's Writing Style: If you read the book, you will find that Bosco enjoys writing very detailed explanation for several important concepts of RF circuits.For example,in Chapter 3,section 3.3, he writes a good long detailed explanation for the concept of the source degenerated inductor for matching ,as compared to the same content of another book related to RF CMOS circuits.He even tries to show the phasor diagrams for illustration.These are not shown in another book,nor maybe also in many other books. Thus, the book should be very suitable for many students who want to explore in depth related particular topics of RF VLSI circuits. The author often uses long or verbose sentences in his writing expression and explaining concepts. A number of readers might not like this style, if they prefer writing and reading of concise sentences. Many of those people might be a very busy person,who does not have much time for each chapter. I have a comment on the organization of some chapters.Some subsections are too long and difficult to find some specific details later.If it is possible to extract some parts of theory or principle and write them in a separate chapter,it might be better and easier to add more detailed explanation. Errata: I think, I found some odds. Anyway,other readers please also check. Chapter 2 -Page62, fourth line : large stage -> last stage -Page70, :"(i.e." in the 16th line, should be removed. -Page70 and 71,in Step3: row6->row5, row7->row6 Chapter 3 -Page100,eighth line from bottom : input current->input voltage Chapter 4 -Page122,Fig.4.6 : Inf -> Irf,because there is no description of "nf" subscripts. -Page143,Equation(4.91): w31 -> w1, so equation is reasonable. -Page166,Sec.4.8,line23: conversion gain increase->decrease(direct proportion shown) Chapter 5 -Page172,line15 : M3 to Vif -> M3 to Vrf -Page203,Equation(5.106) : HD3 -> HD2, otherwise it duplicates with Eq.(5.107) Chapter 6 -Page229,2nd line from bottom : nonoversampling -> nonoverlaping phases -Page249,Equation(6.46) : 800MHz -> 80MHz Chapter 7 -Page267,Eq.(7.10) : K'pd * T -> K'pd / T -Page296,Eq.(7.76) : missing minus sign "-" in right bracket -Page300,Line 11 : Vout0~Vout0 -> Vout0~Vout2 Chapter 8 -Page331,Line16 and 17 : z1 and z3 -> z1 and p3 Contents: There are 350 pages of contents,not counting the Index pages(a small book). A list references is given at the end of each chapter.Anyway,most readers might not be able to access some of the references,for example, those of Doctoral Theses at U.C. Berkeley. Maybe some contents are only good for research students to explore more details."
