Analog Integrated Circuits for Communication: Principles, Simulation and Design, Second Edition covers the analysis and design of nonlinear analog integrated circuits that form the basis of present-day communication systems. Both bipolar and MOS transistor circuits are analyzed and several numerical examples are used to illustrate the analysis and design techniques developed in this book. Especially unique to this work is the tight coupling between the first-order circuit analysis and circuit simulation results. Extensive use has been made of the public domain circuit simulator Spice, to verify the results of first-order analyses, and for detailed simulations with complex device models.Highlights of the new edition include:A new introductory chapter that provides a brief review of communication systems, transistor models, and distortion generation and simulation.Addition of new material on MOSFET mixers, compression and intercept points, matching networks.Revisions of text and explanations where necessary to reflect the new organization of the bookSpice input files for all the circuit examples that are available to the reader from a website.Problem sets at the end of each chapter to reinforce and apply the subject matter.An instructors solutions manual is available on the book's webpage at springer.com.Analog Integrated Circuits for Communication: Principles, Simulation and Design, Second Edition is for readers who have completed an introductory course in analog circuits and are familiar with basic analysis techniques as well as with the operating principles of semiconductor devices. This book also serves as a useful reference for practicing engineers.

This book deals with the analysis and design of analog integrated circuits that form the basis of present-day communication systems. The material is intended to be a textbook for class use but should also be a valuable source of information for a practicing engineer. Both bipolar and MOS transistor circuits are analyzed and many numerical examples are used to illustrate the analysis and design techniques developed in this book. A set of problems is presented at the end of the book which covers the subject matter of the whole book. The book has originated out of a senior-level course on nonlinear, analog integrated circuits at the University of California at Berkeley. The material contained in this book has been taught by the first author for several years and the book has been class tested for six semesters. This along with feedback from the students is reflected in the organization and writing of the text. We expect that the students have had an introductory course in analog circuits so that they are familiar with some of the basic analysis techniques and also with the operating principles of the various semiconductor devices. Several important, basic circuits and concepts are reviewed as the subject matter is developed.

The Nato Advanced Study Institute on "Computer Design Aids for VLSI Circuits" was held from July 21 to August 1, 1980 at Sogesta, Urbino, Italy. Sixty-three carefully chosen profes­ sionals were invited to participate in this institute together with 12 lecturers and 7 assistants. The 63 participants were selected from a group of almost 140 applicants. Each had the background to learn effectively the set of computer IC design aids which were presented. Each also had individual expertise in at least one of the topics of the Institute. The Institute was designed to provide hands-on type of experience rather than consisting of solely lecture and discussion. Each morning, detailed presentations were made concerning the critical algorithms that are used in the various types of computer IC design aids. Each afternoon a lengthy period was used to provide the participants with direct access to the computer programs. In addition to using the programs, the individual could, if his expertise was sufficient, make modifications of and extensions to the programs, or establish limitations of these present aids. The interest in this hands-on activity was very high and many participants worked with the programs every free hour. The editors would like to thank the Direction of SOGESTA for the excellent facilities, ~1r. R. Riccioni of the SOGESTA Computer Center and Mr. 11. Vanzi of the University of Genova for enabling all the programs to run smoothly on the set date. P.Antognetti D.O.Pederson Urbino, Summer 1980.
