The instructors address the concepts of feedback and sensitivity. These important topics, along with noise, nonlinear distortion, and power supply rejection, are integrated as needed throughout the course. On the final day the instructors provide a unified coverage of sampled data and continuous-time signal processing systems. Much of the course focuses on the development of design intuition through hand calculations. Problem sets include analysis and open-ended design problems that expose participants to practical situations.
Enrollment is limited and advance enrollment is required.
Laker and Sansen are coauthors of Design of Analog Integrated Circuits and Systems, the text for this course.
