ACSP · Analog Circuits And Signal Processing Hao Gao Marion Matters-Kammerer Dusan Milosevic Peter G.M. Baltus Batteryless mm-Wave Wireless Sensors Analog Circuits and Signal Processing SeriesEditors: MohammedIsmail,Dublin,USA MohamadSawan,Montreal,Canada The Analog Circuits and Signal Processing book series, formerly known as the Kluwer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science, is a high level academicandprofessionalseriespublishingresearchonthedesignandapplications of analog integrated circuits and signal processing circuits and systems. Typically per year we publish between 5–15 research monographs, professional books, handbooks,editedvolumesandtextbookswithworldwidedistributiontoengineers, researchers,educators,andlibraries. The book series promotes and expedites the dissemination of new research resultsandtutorialviewsintheanalogfield.Thereisanexcitingandlargevolume ofresearchactivityinthefieldworldwide.Researchersarestrivingtobridgethegap between classical analog work and recent advances in very large scale integration (VLSI) technologies with improved analog capabilities. Analog VLSI has been recognizedasamajortechnologyforfutureinformationprocessing.Analogworkis showing signs of dramatic changes with emphasis on interdisciplinary research efforts combining device/circuit/technology issues. Consequently, new design concepts,strategiesanddesigntoolsarebeingunveiled. Topicsofinterestinclude: AnalogInterfaceCircuitsandSystems; Dataconverters; Active-RC,switched-capacitorandcontinuous-timeintegratedfilters; Mixedanalog/digitalVLSI; Simulationandmodeling,mixed-modesimulation; Analognonlinearandcomputationalcircuitsandsignalprocessing; AnalogArtificialNeuralNetworks/ArtificialIntelligence; Current-modeSignalProcessing;Computer-AidedDesign(CAD)tools; Analog Design in emerging technologies (Scalable CMOS, BiCMOS, GaAs, heterojunctionandfloatinggatetechnologies,etc.); AnalogDesignforTest; Integratedsensorsandactuators;AnalogDesignAutomation/Knowledge-based Systems;AnalogVLSIcelllibraries;Analogproductdevelopment;RFFrontends, WirelesscommunicationsandMicrowaveCircuits; Analogbehavioralmodeling,AnalogHDL.
