Book Description
Advanced Mixed Signal Communication Systems explains
the synergistic nature of systems, circuits, and device fundamentals in
designing a mixed signal system. Unlike the current practice which views the
separate functionalities as building blocks of the new system and then
concentrates on interfacing them, the novel approach of this text places
emphasis on providing a fundamental understanding of the component parts of such
a system.
From the Back Cover
Learn the fundamentals of integrated communication
microsystems
Advanced communication microsystems—the latest
technology to emerge in the semiconductor sector after microprocessors—require
integration of diverse signal processing blocks in a power-efficient and
cost-effective manner. Typically, these systems include data acquisition, data
processing, telemetry, and power management. The overall development is a
synergy among system, circuit, and component-level designs with a strong
emphasis on integration.
This book is targeted at students, researchers, and
industry practitioners in the semiconductor area who require a thorough
understanding of integrated communication microsystems from a developer's
perspective. The book thoroughly and carefully explores:
-
Fundamental requirements of
communication microsystems
-
System design and considerations for
wired and wireless communication microsystems
-
Advanced block-level design techniques
for communication microsystems
-
Integration of communication systems in
a hybrid environment
-
Packaging considerations
-
Power and form factor trade-offs in
building integrated microsystems
Advanced Integrated Communication Microsystems is an
ideal textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses. It also serves
as a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners in circuit design for
telecommunications and related fields.
