Preface
Thepurposeofthisbookistoprovideinasinglevolumeacomprehensivereferenceworkcoveringthe
broad spectrum of feedback amplifier design; analysis, synthesis, and design of nonlinear circuits; their
representation, approximation, identification, and simulation; cellular neural networks; multiconductor
transmission lines; and analysis and synthesis of distributed circuits. It also includes the design of
multiple-loop feedback amplifiers. This book is written and developed for the practicing electrical
engineers and computer scientists in industry, government, and academia. The goal is to provide the
mostup-to-dateinformationinthefield.
Overtheyears,thefundamentalsofthefieldhaveevolvedtoincludeawiderangeoftopicsandabroad
rangeofpractice.Toencompasssuchawiderangeofknowledge,thisbookfocusesonthekeyconcepts,
models, and equations that enable the design engineer to analyze, design, and predict the behavior of
feedback amplifiers, nonlinear and distributed systems. While design formulas and tables are listed,
emphasisisplacedonthekeyconceptsandtheoriesunderlyingtheprocesses.

The compilation of this book would not have been possible without the dedication and efforts of
Professors Leon O. Chua and Thomas Koryu Ishii, and most of all the contributing authors. I wish to
