This book addresses the challenges of designing high performance analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) based on the "smart data converters" concept, which implies context awareness, on-chip intelligence and adaptation.

1 Power-dissipation trends in CMOS circuits Shrinking device geometry, growing chip area and increased data-processing speed performance are technological trends in the integrated circuit industry to enlarge chip functionality.

In many electronic systems, such as telecommunication or measurement systems, oscillations play an essential role in the information processing. Oscillators and Oscillator Systems: Classification, Analysis and Synthesis takes a systematic approach to the design of high-performance oscillators and oscillator systems.

This book describes a unique approach to smart receiver system design. It starts with the analysis of a very basic, single-path receiver structure, then using similar methods, extends the analysis to a more complicated multi-path receiver.

This book investigates solutions, benefits, limitations, and costs associated with multi-standard operation of RF front-ends and their ability to adapt to variable radio environments. Next, it highlights the optimization of RF front-ends to allow maximum performance within a certain power budget, while targeting full integration.

This book proposes alternative switched capacitor techniques which allow the achievement of higher intrinsic analogue functional accuracy than previously possible in such application areas as analogue filter and ADC design.

The promising high data rate wireless applications at millimeter wave frequencies in general and 60 GHz in particular have gained much attention in recent years. This book focuses on phase-locked loops for 60 GHz wireless transceivers.

Following this trend of system integration, this eventually leads to the integration of analog and d- ital components in one chip, resulting in mixed-signal ICs: digital components are required because signal processing is preferably done in the digital - main;

Robust Sigma-Delta Converters studies how to deal with the ever increasing requirements on IP, and how the technological advances can be exploited with the right design methodology. The book's main objective is to explore implementation possibilities of high quality Sigma-Delta modulators.

Integrated 60GHz RF Beamforming in CMOS describes new concepts and design techniques that can be used for 60GHz phased array systems. First, general trends and challenges in low-cost high data-rate 60GHz wireless system are studied, and the phased array technique is introduced to improve the system performance.

The RF front-end - antenna combination is a vital part of a mobile phone. This book offers a unique account of adaptive RF front-ends. It includes an analysis on the impact of fluctuating environmental parameters, and a generic protection concept is presented.

This book covers architectural and circuit level solutions for ultra-low power, robust, uni-directional and bi-directional radio links. It guides the reader through the system, circuit and technology trade-offs faced in the design of communication systems.

With proposals for new concepts in the flexibility and self-correction of DACs that should enable a range of functional and performance specifications, this book's detailed coverage is ideal for seasoned professionals and newcomers to the field alike.

This title covers important physical-design issues that exist in contemporary analogue and mixed-signal design flows. The authors bring together many principles and techniques required to successfully develop and implement layout generation tools to accommodate many mixed-signal layout generation needs.

The use of orthogonalization of the design of the fundamental quality aspects (noise, distortion, and bandwidth) and hierarchy in the subsequent design steps, enables designers to achieve high-performance designs, in a relatively short time.

This text covers the analysis and design of all high-frequency oscillators required to realize integrated transceivers for wireless and wired applications. Starting with an in-depth review of basic oscillator theory, the authors provide a detailed analysis of many oscillator types and circuit topologies.
