Modern communications technology demands smaller faster and more efficientcircuits. This book reviews the fundamentals of electromagnetism in passive andactive circuit elements highlighting various effects and potential problems indesigning a new circuit. The author begins with a review of the basics theorigin of resistance capacitance and inductance then progresses to moreadvanced topics such as passive device design and layout resonant circuitsimpedance matching highspeed switching circuits and parasitic coupling andisolation techniques. Using examples and applications in RF and microwavesystems the author describes transmission lines transformers and distributedcircuits. Stateoftheart developments in Si based broadband analog RFmicrowave and mmwave circuits are reviewed. With uptodate resultstechniques practical examples illustrations and worked examples this bookwill be valuable to advanced undergraduate and graduate students of electricalengineering and practitioners in the IC design industry.
