Distortion Analysis of Analog Integrated Ciruits

The analysis and prediction of nonlinear behavior in electronic circuits has long been a topic of concern for analog circuit designers. The recent explosion of interest in portable electronics such as cellular phones, cordless telephones and other applications has served to reinforce the importance of these issues. The need now often arises to predict and optimize the distortion performance of diverse electronic circuit configurations operating in gigahertz frequency range, where nonlinear reactive effects often dominates. However, there have historically been few sources available from which design engineers could obtain information on analysis techniques suitable for tracking these important problems.
