✦ Synopsis

"This is a book about real-world techniques in designing analog circuits: amplifiers, filters, injection-locked oscillators, phase-locked loops, and spectrum regrowth in digital RF transmitters, etc. The book offers practical solutions to analog and RF problems, helping the reader to achieve high performance circuit and system design. This book will be useful to both students and practitioners. Teachers will find the book an important supplement to a standard analog and RF course, or it may stand alone as a textbook. Practitioners may find it useful by bookmarking some of the step-by-step procedures, e.g. the section on simplified impedance matching or group delay flattening"--
