Transistor-level modeling and design of analog and digital electronic circuits. Differential amplifiers, Gilbert Cell multipliers, multi-stage amplifiers, amplifier frequency response, negative feedback amplifiers, LC-tank and crystal oscillators, two-port networks. Advanced concepts in logic design. Students learn the basics of computer aided design (CAD) of integrated circuits including schematic simulation, layout, design rules, layout versus schematic verification and extracted circuit simulation. Laboratory work is design-oriented and students are introduced to advanced test and measurement techniques using vector network analyzers.
