Robert Sobot received the B.Sc. degree in engineering physics from the University of Belgrade, ex-Yugoslavia, in 1989, and the M.A.Sc. and the Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Simon Fraser University, Canada, in 1996 and 2005 respectively. In September 2014 he joined ENSEA in France as a Full Professor. From 2006 to 2015 he was with Western University in Canada as an Associate Professor, now he is an Adjunct Professor. From 1996 to 2001 he was with PMC-Sierra Inc., Canada, where he was leading projects in analog IC design. During 2012/14 he was invited researcher at the University Pierre et Marie Curie at Sorbonne (LiP6), Paris, France. Since 2010 he authored two textbooks on the topic of Wireless Communication Electronics, and he established the Implantable System Laboratory (ISL) at Western University in Canada that is dedicated to research related to wireless implantable telemetry systems.

Offers readers a complete, self-sufficient tutorial style textbook;

Includes all relevant topics required to study and design an RF receiver in a consistent, coherent way with appropriate depth for a one-semester course;

The labs and the book chapters are synchronized throughout a 13-week semester so that the students first study each sub-circuit and the related theory in class, practice problems, work out design details and then build and test the sub-circuit in the lab, before moving onto the next chapter;

Includes detailed derivations of all key equations related to new concepts.
