CMOS Loves 5G [Book/Software Reviews]

This book looks at ways in which CMOS is pushing the frequency boundary. After an introductory chapter, the book splits into three parts: eight chapters on systems, four chapters on components, and a final chapter on fin field-effect transistors (FinFETs) and process technology. It is a fascinating tour of applications, critical components, and technology. The book has 14 chapters and almost 30 different authors, representing a mix of universities, research centers, and businesses. Each chapter has a different lead author, which makes for a wide variety of perspectives. Almost all of the chapters have background, measurements, and design examples, which create a very practical work. With all that said, this book is not exactly coherent, as there is much overlap and some duplication. All in all, however, this is an excellent overview and starting point for further study and work. I am sure you will enjoy it. This book begins with a nice summary of 5G evolution from previous systems and a view toward automotive radars. This book is an excellent and timely reference for anyone getting into this area or actively
