Acerca del autor

George Moschytz is founder and head of the Faculty of Engineering (Bio, Computer, and Electrical Engineering) at Bar-Ilan University, Israel (founded in 2001).

Previously, he was professor and director (1973-2001) of the Institute for Signal and Information Processing at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, Switzerland.

Before joining the ETH EE-Department (where he also received his undergraduate and PhD degrees) he was at RCA Research Laboratories in Zurich (1960-1962) and then, for close to ten years, at Bell Telephone Labs in New Jersey, USA. At Bell Labs he supervised a group designing analog and digital integrated circuits and filters for data communications.

Since 1989, he has been consulting for communications companies in the USA regularly during the summer. He has written and co-authored several (10) books on analog, digital, switched-capacitor, and adaptive circuit and filter design, and close to 400 papers in the field of networktheory and design, signal processing, and circuit sensitivity. He holds several patents in these areas.

He is an IEEE Life-Fellow, was awarded the IEEE-CAS-Education Award, and the IEEE-CAS Mac VanValkenburg Award (the highest IEEE-CAS award), as well as several other IEEE awards (among them the Golden Jubilee Award, and the Third Millennium Medal), and was president of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society in 1999.

While at the ETH, he served on he ETH Research Council, then on the Swiss National Research Council in Berne, and thereafter, was one of two representatives of Switzerland, on the European Research Council in Brussels.

De la contraportada

This textbook is designed for graduate-level courses, and for self-study, in analog and sampled-data, including switched-capacitor, circuit theory and design for ongoing, or active electrical engineers, needing to become proficient in analog circuit design on a system, rather than on a device, level.  After decades of experience in industry and teaching this material in academic settings, the author has extracted many of the most important and useful features of analog circuit theory and design and presented them in a manner that is easy to digest and utilize.  The methodology and analysis techniques presented can be applied to areas well beyond those specifically addressed in this book.  This book is meant to enable readers to gain a 'general knowledge' of one aspect of analog engineering (e.g., that of network theory, filter design, system theory and sampled-data signal processing).  The presentation is self-contained and should be accessible to anyone with a first degree in electrical engineering.
