Description:
Realizing maximum performance from high bit-rate and RF circuits requires close attention to IC technology, circuit-to-circuit interconnections (i.e., the interconnect ) and circuit design. Circuit and Interconnet Design for RF and High Bit-rate Applications covers each of these topics from theory t
