Peter Staric - Wideband Amplifiers read ebook MOBI, DOC, TXT
9780387283401 English 0387283404 There are many books discussing electronic circuit design which include a chapter or two dedicated to wideband and high-speed circuits and instrumentation. In most of those books the way of achieving a high bandwidth relies almost exclusively on the selection of semiconductor devices fast enough to do the job. Only a few of them go deep enough into specific details useful for starting the high-speed circuit design from scratch; fewer still dedicate enough space to identify the causes for bandwidth limitation, let alone the remedies and solutions possible with careful and systematic consideration of active and passive component interactions and specific circuit topology selections.There are also many books discussing circuit analysis, modeling and performance optimization strategies; almost none, however, offers also the complete introduction to mathematical procedures required for a successful design, particularly if time-domain or transient performance is of prime importance.Wideband Amplifiers attempts to cover both of these requirements, starting from the basics of mathematical procedures and circuit analysis but also offering the more advanced topics of system optimization and synthesis, along with the complete mathematical apparatus required. We have tried to show the circuit examples in such a way that the main principles for achieving high bandwidth are clearly exposed, independently of the actual device technology used in the circuit realization. At the same time we were striving not to loose sight of the everyday needs of a circuit design engineer, so we have intentionally limited the contents of mathematics to the necessary minimum. While some of the derivations require a degree of previous mathematical knowledge, we have taken care to include the trivial steps in order to help a less experienced reader to follow the subject easily. In this way we hope that Wideband Amplifiers will have a more lasting value, both as a learningguide and as a reference design manual., This work covers two bases, both performance optimization strategies and a complete introduction to mathematical procedures required for a successful circuit design. It starts from the basics of mathematical procedures and circuit analysis before moving on to the more advanced topics of system optimization and synthesis, along with the complete mathematical apparatus required. The authors have been at pains to make the material accessible by limiting the mathematics to the necessary minimum., With the exception of the tragedy on September 11, the year 2001 was relatively normal and uneventful: remember, this should have been the year of the Clarke s andKubrick s Space Odyssey, mission to Juiter; it should have been the year of the HAL-9000 computer. Today, the Personal Computer is as ubiquitous and omnipresent as was HAL on the Discovery spaceship. And the rate of technology development and market growth in electronics industry still follows the famous Moore Law, almost four decades after it has been first formulated: in 1965, Gordon Moore of Intel Corporation predicted the doubling of the number of transistors on a chip every 2 years, corrected to 18 months in 1967; at that time, the landing on the Moon was in full preparation. Curiously enough, today noone cares to go to the Moon again, let alone Jupiter. And, in spite of all the effort in digital engineering, we still do not have anything close to 0.1% of the HAL capacity (fortunately? ). Whilst there are many research labs striving to put artificial intelligence into a computer, there are also rumors that this has already happened (with Windows-95, of course )."
