Rating: Summary: A wonderful book Review: This book is real outstanding. Its extensive coverage of old and new techniques in RF design is quite remarkable. Truely a must-have for any RF designer.
Rating: Summary: A required arrow for any technical quiver Review: This book is the best written, light hearted, and historically accurate rendition of CMOS design.Very easy reading that is peppered with little factoids and anecdotes. Look for the footnotes.

Rating: Summary: Text of limited value Review: This book presents the material in a conversational manner. The strength of this book is that it includes many important, rarely discussed topics. It also contains an interesting history of Radio Frequency Circuits. However it needs more examples and a more extensive listing of its references.
Rating: Summary: Nothing Special ! Review: This book summarizes the high points of what in past years would have been at least 50% of the course work for obtaining a BSEE. As a result of compressing this information into a single volume, the coverage is superficial and only presents results and not derivations. This is a good first book on the subject and will get you oriented so that reading more detailed books will be easier. There are errors that are easily spotted, such as a passive mixer with more output signal power than input power. The author sets up straw men by misconstruing conventional wisdom and shows how he has found the true light. After reading this book you should have the technical skill level of what in past years would be an advanced level amateur radio hobbyist or middle level electronic technician.

Rating: Summary: Nothing Special ! Review: This is a mediocre book, there are other books in the market which are just as good or better, I am suprised by the 5 stars rating on this book... So, I am leaving this review here to caution future buyers: Don't be lured by the rating, I am in RFIC design and I have this book but I haven't use this book for more than a year now, it justs sits in my shelf.
Rating: Summary: Outstanding! Review: Thomas H. Lee has assembled one of the easiest and most enjoyable books to read on the topic of CMOS RF Design. A "cut to the chase" book for folks who wish to gain a working knowledge.
Rating: Summary: The best book I ever read on Electronic Review: You can find here a fine description of last RF design knowhow, with answers to questions I'd like to have before. Thank you Mister LEE!!!
