In the first part of this course modern microelectronic circuits are covered and in the second part these circuits are used in new and emerging applications. Topics include: active and passive filtering circuits, baseband and high-frequency signal generation, low phase-noise oscillators using Quartz crystals and dielectric resonators, power amplifiers, discussion of power gain, linearity, and efficiency, frequency mixers and multipliers, A/D and D/A converters, phaselocked loops, clock recovery circuits, biological sensors, neurostimulator circuits, biotelemetry communications systems, backscatter modulators and RF-to-DC power converters for radiofrequency identification (RFID), radar imaging systems, radiometer circuits for earth surface mapping.
