From the Inside Flap
ON THE CD-ROM *PUFF RF/Microwave circuit simulation software *Sonnet Lite electromagnetic simulation software *National's PLL Design Program *Agilent's AppCad circuit design program

Design an entire radio system from the ground up instead of relying on a simple plug-in selection of circuits to be modified. Avoid an arduous trek through theory and mathematical derivations. Cotter Sayre’s Complete Wireless Design is the handbook that fits your needs. It covers wireless hardware design more thoroughly than any other—and does it without burying you in math.

THE BEST SOURCE FOR WIRELESS DESIGN *Design cutting-edge filters, amplifiers, RF switches, oscillators, and more *Simplify calculations for impedance matching, analysis of wireless links, and completing a frequency plan *Follow real-world examples of designing with RFIC’s and MMIC’s *Master full circuit and electromagnetic software simulations *Limit math to simple algebra *Get it the first time with Cotter Sayre’s copyrighted clarity

THE BEST WRITER IN WIRELESS This right-on-the-money new guide from a bestselling wireless author gives you all the skills needed to design today’s wireless systems and circuits. If you want to climb the learning curve with grace, and start designing what you need immediately, this reasonably priced resource is your best choice. It’s certain to be the most-used reference in your wireless arsenal.

*****“I hope the author writes another book on similar technical subjects soon.”*

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Complete Wireless Design (Hardcover) At my place of work I have access to *every* RF/wireless circuit and system design book published since 1969, covering everything from books for the beginner all the way up to books for the extremely advanced RF engineer. In other words, I know what is out there when it comes to wireless circuit design books. Complete Wireless Design fills the huge gap between the cookbook/beginner style of book [which has too much missing info; neglects the disastrous RF design "gotch-yas"; and is not adaptable enough for real life design], and the advanced calculus riddled books [which can be too limited in scope; sometimes are totally incomprehensible; don't address the practical side of engineering; and rarely bother to show detailed schematics of the circuits they are so deeply discussing]. Complete Wireless Design's target is distinctly the practical, and not the theoretical [NOTE: Some university-based teachers or certain engineers may be put-off by this strongly practical, no-nonsense "let's get the circuit designed NOW!" approach, but since my own day to day work pressures force me to swiftly design RF circuits, I personally do not have a problem with this]. While no book can, obviously, be totally complete, Complete Wireless Design comes as close to this ideal as I have seen in my almost thirty years of hardcore RF circuit design experience.
