This authoritative book gives you new perspective on the RF and analog hardware and systems design aspects of software defined radio. It delves into the architecture of transmitters and receivers that make software-defined radio a reality. Covering both the practical aspects and underpinnings of these architectures, the book details all key RF and analog baseband components and sub-systems, from the converters that interface with DSPs and ASICs through to the duplexer feeding the antenna. It enables you to select the right technique for any application by providing alternatives for implementing the main system components.

5.0 out of 5 stars
More than Software Defined Radio,
This review is from: RF and Baseband Techniques for Software Defined Radio (Hardcover)
It might seem extreme to rate this book 5 stars but I feel its justified. There are a number of text that deal with this subject but this one is complete, concise, and understandable.
If you had to buy one new book dealing with RF telecom, this would be it. Actually this probably should be your second or third book in your RF engineering library. You should already have Electronic Communications Systems by Wayne Tomaasi and Digital Communications by Bernard Sklar. Here are the things you'll like about this book. 1. Top quality layout, organiztion, printing, graphs, and well explained equations. 2. A modern review of past transmitter and receiver topologies (best explanation of the Weaver architecture I've seen). This will be relevant when you move to the sections on digital and software techniques. 3. Clear and well developed writing on new topologies such as polar modulation and precompensation. 4. Little surprises for your engineering tool kit such as how to add the ADC noise figure to your cascade analysis. 5. Good DSP coverage and worked examples, block diagrams, equations.
