The author has taught the context of this book as a Master and Ph.D. course for more than ten years in Electrical Engineering Department of Sharif Universiy of Technology. The book mainly covers fundamentals of analog filters, active R-C filters, switched-capacitors filters, Npath filters,gm-c filters, and authomatic tuning of freequency and quality factor of the monolithic filters

Ph.D. Electrical and Electronics Eng. (Electrophysics,Integrated circuits and micro electronics),University of Southern California,1993 Professor S.M. Atarodi received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles, CA, USA, on the subject of analog IC design in 1993. He received the M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the University of California, Irvine, CA, USA, in 1987 and B.S.E.E. from Amir Kabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic), Iran, in 1985. From 1993 to 1996 he worked with Linear Technology Corporation at Silicon Valley California, USA as a Senior Analog Design Engineer and produced 2 IC products in the field of high frequency high dynamic range continuous-time Gm-C filters. Since then, he has been consulting with different IC companies. He is currently an Associate professor at Sharif University of Technology, Tehran. He has published more than 120 technical journal and conference papers in the area of analog/RF and mixed-signal integrated circuit design. He is the author of two books on analog CMOS IC design, and Integrated Filter design from DC to RF. His main interests are integrated bioelectronics, RF/analog/mixed-signal ICs, and analog CAD tools.. He is a senior member of IEEE and the recipient of Interntional Kharazmi Award, the most prestigious knowledge-based industrial award in Iran. He holds 1 U.S. patent and 7 Iranian patents.
