This book covers analog electronic circuits with an emphasis on circuit design for high performance signal processing functions. Beginning with coverage of methods for accomplishing accuracy of signal transfer, Davidse goes on to discuss analog signal processing. The book discusses various types of amplifiers, oscillators, modulators and frequency converters; pays special attention to low-noise design; concentrates silicon monolithic technology throughout as the vehicle for practical implementations. Designed as both a text and practical reference for professionals, the text contains worked-out examples and end-of-chapter problems.
