This comprehensive book delves into the realm of real-world design techniques for analog circuits, encompassing a wide range of topics such as amplifiers, filters, injection-locked oscillators, phase-locked loops, transimpedance amplifiers, group delay correction circuits, notch filters, and spectrum regrowth in digital radio frequency (RF) transmitters. It provides practical solutions to analog and RF problems, empowering readers to achieve high-performance circuit and system design.

The book covers a diverse array of issues, including:

• Techniques to flatten group delay of filters
• Utilizing reciprocity for advantageous outcomes
• Neutralizing parasitic capacitance through innovative methods
• Deepening a notch by incorporating just two components into the network
• Demodulating signals using the secant waveform and its benefits
• Flattening the frequency response of diode detectors
• Determining when to employ transimpedance amplifiers and maximizing their performance
• Recovering non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data when alternating current (AC) coupling is necessary
• Understanding the impact of phase noise on adjacent communication channels
• Employing a simple method to prevent false locking in phase-locked loops
• Enhancing bandwidth of amplification through current conveyors
• Implementing a straightforward impedance matching technique requiring only one reactive component
• Utilizing optimization techniques to enhance circuit performance
• Addressing issues such as quadrature distortion and cross-rail interference

Designed as a handbook or supplemental textbook for students and practitioners in the field of analog and RF circuitry, this book adopts a words and pictures easy-to-understand approach. It includes an abundance of illustrations, resulting from equations and behavioral simulations, to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. Teachers will find the book an invaluable resource for complementing a standard analog and RF course, or it can serve as a standalone textbook for self-study.

By exploring these diverse topics and offering practical solutions, this book empowers readers to excel in the design of analog and RF circuits, enabling them to create innovative and high-performance systems that meet the demands of modern technology.
