7 – System Aspects
Abstract This chapter describes how to apply estimation analysis to various systems. We start by discussing phase locked loops (PLL) and show how one can model them simply. One of…
5 – Electromagnetism: Circuit Applications
Abstract The observations from the is applied specifically to integrated circuit situations, where transmission line effects, inductors, capacitors and S-parameters are discussed using the estimation analysis method. Many useful formulae…
4 – Electromagnetism: Fundamentals
Abstract In this chapter Maxwell’s equations are described and common ways to solve them analytically are discussed. The equations imply certain properties of matter with which it interacts and full…
6 – Electromagnetic Field Simulators
Abstract The lessons from the previous chapters are here applied to a very brief discussion of numerical techniques. First we show how to calculate the capacitance of three-dimensional structures; we…
2 – Basic Amplifier Stages
Abstract Basic amplifier stages are described in a somewhat cursory fashion. We use circuits that are familiar to most readers and present the analysis in a way that conforms to…
3 – Higher Level Amplifier Stages
Abstract The estimation analysis method is described in the context of sophisticated amplifiers. The purpose is to convince the reader of the usefulness of the technique by whetting their appetite…
1 – General Guidelines in Estimation Analysis in Integrated Circuits
Abstract The estimation analysis method or more commonly referred to in everyday use as hand calcualtions is described here, where a systematic approach including a “feedback” loop to ensure correctness…
