• Sommario/riassunto: A classroom-tested book addressing key issues of electrical noiseThis book examines noise phenomena in linear and nonlinear high-frequency circuits from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives. The authors explore important noise mechanisms using equivalent sources and analytical and numerical methods. Readers learn how to manage electrical noise to improve the sensitivity and resolution of communication, navigation, measurement, and other electronic systems.Noise in High-Frequency Circuits and Oscillators has its origins in a university course taught by the authors.
