Reihe: Analog Circuits and Signal Processing

This is an introduction to noise, describing fundamental noise sources and basic circuit analysis, discussing characterization of low-frequency noise and offering practical advice that bridges concepts of noise theory and modelling, characterization, CMOS technology and circuits. The text offers the latest research, reviewing the most recent publications and conference presentations. The book concludes with an introduction to noise in analog/RF circuits and describes how low-frequency noise can affect these circuits.

CV for Mikael Östling: He has been with the faculty of EE of KTH, Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden since 1984 where he holds a position as professor in solid state electronics. Since 2001 he is head of the department of microelectronics and information technology. In December 2004 he was appointed Dean, School of Information and Communication Technology, KTH.

He was a senior visiting Fulbright Scholar 1993-94 with the center for integrated systems at Stanford University, and a visiting professor with the University of Florida, Gainesville. He initiated and was appointed program director by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research for a silicon nanoelectronics national program 2000-2007. His research interests are silicon/silicon germanium devices and process technology for very high frequency, as well as device technology for wide bandgap semiconductors with special emphasis on silicon carbide and nitride based structures. He has supervised 20 PhD theses work, and been the author of 8 book chapters and about 300 scientific papers published in international journals and conferences. He is an editor of the IEEE Electron Device Letters and a fellow of the IEEE.
