Product Description With the increased efforts of the analog design community to integrate analog high-frequency front-ends for telecommunications, there has been heightened interest in the behaviour of nonlinear circuits since this can cause considerable degradation of signals. In analog integrated circuits at lower frequencies, such as filters, nonlinear behaviour limits the dynamic range. Analog integrated circuit designers often lack insight into nonlinear circuit behaviour. Indeed, designers are trained to reason in linear or linearized circuits but not in nonlinear ones. Numerical circuit simulations of nonlinear circuit behavior do not provide enough insight to the designer. Distortion Analysis of Analog Integrated Circuits, with a foreword by Robert G. Meyer, provides both qualitative and quantitative insight into the nonlinear behavior of analog integrated circuits at low and high frequencies. General techniques to suppress nonlinear behavior such as pre-distortion, linear and nonlinear feedback are explained in detail and illustrated with realistic examples. In this way the book fills the gap between the theory of nonlinear systems and practical analog integrated circuits. Distortion Analysis of Analog Integrated Circuits provides the reader with an in-depth analysis of elementary transistor stages, both CMOS and bipolar, as well as an analysis of several larger circuits. Hereby use is made of advanced transistor models that are also discussed in the book. The analyses take into account many more effects than in existing publications, thanks to the use of a calculation method that yields closed-form expressions for nonlinear behavior. These expressions are interpreted and illustrated with realistic numerical examples. Distortion Analysis of Analog Integrated Circuits is essential reading for practicing analog and mixed-signal design engineers and researchers in the field. It is also suitable as a text for an advanced course on the subject. From the foreword: `I am sure that the analog circuit design community will [...] welcome this work by Dr. Wambacq and Prof. Sansen as a major contribution to the analog circuit design literature in the area of distortion analysis of electronic circuits. I am personally looking forward to having a copy readily available for reference when designing integrated circuits for communication systems.' Robert G. Meyer, Professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, University of California, Berkeley. | ||

Milestone but not perfect I started my research on nonlinear circuit sensitivity analysis 3 months ago and this is so far one of the few textbooks I can find in this area. Compared to the 2 books (hope you know which ones I refer to) published in 1980 and 1981 on volterra series and nonlinear circuit analysis, this one is definitely more updated (sadly, it's already 7 years old). This book is more oriented towards computer aided design, like the symbolic analysis program ISAAC which is used to solve the problems in the book, however, there is no other updated CAD tools recommended, in other words, I don't know whether I have some potential colleagues or competitors. Unlike the tons of papers on VS, the math in this book is more concise due to the simplification of ISAAC. I am the first reviewer, I do feel a little bit lonely in this area, discussions with me are welcome if you have the same interest as me; use VS for optimization of nonlinear circuits. [...] In a word, this is a must for ppl doing the same research as me, there are few books out there for you to choose from but thankfully this is an excellent one. Last but not least, in order to get more up-to-date trends in this are, check out the authers' recent papers or the papers from their group or my future papers ;) | ||
