Modern communications technology demands smaller, faster, and more efficient circuits, the design of which requires a good understanding of circuit theory and electromagnetics. This book reviews the fundamentals of electromagnetism as applied to passive and active circuit elements, highlighting the various effects and potential problems in designing a new circuit. The author begins with a review of the basics: the origin of resistance, capacitance, and inductance, from a circuit and field perspective; then progresses to more advanced topics such as passive device design and layout, resonant circuits, impedance matching, high-speed switching circuits, and parasitic coupling and isolation...
