Product Description
Product Description
The CD-ROM includes: PUFF RF/Microwave circuit simulation software; Sonnet Lite electromagnetic simulation software; National's PLL Design Program; and, 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.This is the best source for wireless design. It helps to: 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; and, get it the first time with Cotter Sayre's copyrighted clarity.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. It offers step-saving design such as: Modulation; Oscillators; Amplifiers; Frequency Synthesizers; Filters; Mixers; Support Circuits; Communications; Systems; Troubleshooting Using PUFF RF.
Book Description
This book will assist any engineer or technician to design--down to the circuit level--the complex wireless receivers and transmitters of modern digital communications systems. Unlike many wireless design books, Sayre's doesn't simply provide pre-designed circuits and expect the reader to modify them for their own applications or present overly complex equations and derivations. Instead, this book allows readers to design cutting edge wireless components and circuits using simple algebra, as well as analyze complex modern communications systems. Through many real world examples the reader will get a solid grounding in designing some of today's most cutting edge wireless circuit systems, as well as the ability to perform full circuit and electromagnetic software simulations to confirm in-spec operation and optimum performance of the completed wireless designs.

I work in wireless design at 173MHz.
The ideas in the book are well communicated. The information shows the important circuit design steps required for workable solutions.
In particular the sections on "small signal amplifiers" and the "support circuit design" (containing useful circuits) will be well used.
This book is a valuable practical resource for all aspects of receiver design.
A purchase i'm very pleased with!

The wireless design programs alone are worth the price!
9 Jun 2001
Format:Hardcover
The free wireless circuit design and simulation software that comes with this book have proven extremely valuable to me, unlike many such programs that come with other electronics books. I am able to build a complete amplifier, filter, or oscillator and simulate it with one of the enclosed programs, Puff. This ups my confidence level that the design will function in real life. The other program, AppCad, will actually automatically design FET and bipolar amplifier bias circuits, detectors, microstrip, systems design calcs, etc. I hav'nt tried the EasyPLL phased locked loop design program or the Sonnet microwave simulation software.
Mr. Sayre's book has become one of the more popular ones on rf circuit design for a very good reason: It presents its material in such a way that even a software engineer such as myself can design many of the various bit and pieces of a voice or data radio by just using this one book. As far as I am concerned this is really an achievement, and is valuable to all who are interested in radio design from the low MHz to the high GHz regions. It covers a very large range of information needed on RF engineering, and not only discrete level circuit design, but also systems design, digital and analog modulation, testing and troubleshooting, PCB layout, propagation, EMI, prototyping, etc. It is a great rf book with a large variety of indispensable designs and formulas.

Excellent book on Wireless Design
10 May 2004
Format:Hardcover
Circuits and Wireless Communication designers and Enthusiasts....ENJOY!
A true one-of-a-kind guide to wireless "design". It guides you through the design process step-by-step. The author presents design procedure for every circuit that make up a complete wireless system. He also provides design hints, tips and tricks. Primarily for Electrical Engineers and circuit and electronics enthusiasts, this book is a must for its primary audience. There's so much valuable information and experience in this book you won't find anywhere else.
The book is not intended for people with no electronics or circuit design background. People without such background will find the book difficult to follow and comprehend. Communication designers and engineers, however, will be extremely delighted with this book.
I'm greatly thankful for the author for his excellent book.

The "What you always wanted to know" Design Book
20 April 2004
Format:Hardcover
It is not often that you find such a good book that packs such a lot of helpful design information in one volume. Not only does the author get straight to the point without boring you with complicated mathematics and derivations like in some books (there are enough clogging my bookshelf), but also his simple formulas with short and powerful theory is enough to get the job 99% done. He proves that you don't have to get into very elaborate and complicated math routines to get a working design on the table. Sure there are instances where that is needed but as he explains in the book most of the number crunching and optimization can be done by CAD programs these days, leaving it unnecessary for example to hand calculate filter values by hand in these modern times. It is also nice to have a variety of programs included on the CD-rom. Even as a designer for the last 15+ years this book "taught an old dog some new tricks". This will help especially the rookie designer to get working designs in a short time and to avoid pitfalls. Definitely one to have on your bookshelf!
