Finding articles on RF communications system design on the Internet
is pretty hard to do, as you have probably discovered on your way
to landing on this page. I have found that one of the best sources
for RF system design is from college / university websites where
professors have their class notes posted for download by students.
A few are buried inside the protected IEEE annals, and some can
be found in application notes by vendors. Here are a few of the
ones I've located while looking for information for my own use.
In some cases, the papers are particular to something like RFIC
design, but the basic system design principles are the same.
When searching for yourself, try using terms like: rf system
