About the Course:The course is intended as a gentle introduction for analog, mixed-signal and RF circuit designers to the area of time-varying circuits and systems. The pre-requisites are minimal. After a refresher and building background in linear-time invariant networks, it introduces aspiring analog designers to advanced topics, like inter-reciprocal networks, noise analysis of circuits, transmission lines and distributed circuits, and weak nonlinearities in circuits. INTENDED AUDIENCE: M.Tech/M.S/Ph.D students, advanced undergraduates.PREREQUISITES: Engineering mathematics, a basic course on electric network analysis at the UG level, signals and systems.INDUSTRY SUPPORT: Companies engaged in analog, mixed-signal and RF design.
