Microelectronics Systems

Characterization, properties, and analysis of analog filters. Butterworth, Chebyshev, and elliptic approximations. Introduction to the realization of LC one- and two-port circuits; Darlington's method. Active elements such as gyrators and generalized impedance converters, and their representation by singular elements. Design of high-performance, low-sensitivity active filters. The course includes a project in which a complete analog filter is designed. Recursive and non-recursive digital filters, decimation and interpolation, A/ D and D/A conversion as digital filtering problems. Implementation of no recursive filters via FFT, quantization problems.
