Duran Leblebici is Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Istanbul Technical University (ITU). He has been teaching a range of undergraduate and graduate courses, from device electronics and fabrication technologies to integrated electronic circuits and RF IC design, for more than 50 years. He is the author of three textbooks in the field of electronics. He also established the first microelectronics laboratory and the first VLSI design house at ITU. He has received the Distinguished Service Award of the Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Council (TUBITAK) in 1992, in recognition of his services to microelectronics education.

Yusuf Leblebici is President of Sabanc¿ University, and former Director and Chair Professor of the Microelectronic Systems Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). He has previously worked as a faculty member at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, at Istanbul Technical University, and at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), where he established and directed the VLSI Design Laboratory, and also served as a project director at the New England Center for Analog and Mixed-Signal IC Design. He is the co-author of more than 400 scientific articles and six textbooks.

This book is aimed at electronics engineering students and IC design engineers in the field, wishing to gain a deeper understanding of circuit fundamentals, and to go beyond the widely-used automated design procedures;

Designed for senior undergraduate and graduate courses in RF CMOS circuits, RF circuit design, and high-frequency analog circuit design;

Uses simple circuit models to enable a robust understanding of high-frequency design fundamentals;

Uses solved design examples to familiarize the reader with the design flow, starting with the knowledge- and model-based hand-design to SPICE simulations, as well as fine-tuning procedures with an emphasis on key trade-offs;

Provides comprehensive coverage of the major issues that must be taken into account when combining analog and digital circuit building blocks;

Demonstrates key criteria and parameters that are used to describe system-level performance
