Synopsis

Analog Signal Processing presents an original, five-step, design-oriented approach to solving analog signal processing problems using standard ICs as building blocks. Unlike most authors who prescribe a "bottom-up" approach, Professors Pall Areny and Webster cast design problems first in functional terms and then develop possible solutions using available ICs, focusing on circuit performance rather than internal structure. The five steps of their approach move from signal classification, definition of desired functions, and description of analog domain conversions to error classification and error analysis.

Analog processing deals with adapting the amplitude, level, bandwith and impedance of signals to ensure compatibility between single ended, differential or floating signals and amplifiers with different ends. It deals with converting signals from one analog domain to another. Therefore accuracy is an important goal. Because, unlike the case of digital circuits, solutions of analog circuits require a great deal of creativity, analog design is considered to be an artl.
