Circuit Analysis for Analog, Mixed-Signal and RF Designers

Provides a solid foundation for analog, mixed-signal, and RF circuit design theory and practical application The practice of analog, mixed-signal, and radio frequency (RF) circuit design demands a firm grasp of both theoretical principles and their practical implications. Circuit Analysis for Analog, Mixed-Signal and RF Designers offers engineers and students a comprehensive, unified resource grounded in circuit theory that reflects the realities of modern design. Rather than giving only cursory attention to mathematical underpinnings, this book provides extensive coverage of the analytical tools and methods essential to designing reliable and innovative circuits. With clarity and rigor, authors Shanthi Pavan and Gabor C. Temes illuminate the intuition behind a circuit designer’s core tools — combining theory with real-world applications to equip engineers with both the analytical framework and the practical judgment to apply it effectively. Topics covered include: Analysis and synthesis of linear circuitsNoise analysis and calculations in electronic circuitsWeak nonlinearities in electronic circuitsDistributed circuits and the scattering matrixLinear time-varying circuits and systems, developed from first principlesFundamentals of continuous-time filtersSwitched-capacitor circuits, developed from first principlesCircuit Analysis for Analog, Mixed-Signal and RF Designers is ideal for graduate-level courses in analog, mixed-signal, and RF circuit design within electrical and computer engineering programs. It is also a critical reference for practicing circuit designers and engineers looking for deeper theoretical insight into their daily design work.
