Summary

Basic amplifier stages are described in a somewhat cursory fashion. We use circuits that are familiar to most readers and present the analysis in a way that conforms to the estimation analysis described in Chapter 1. This way the reader will encounter familiar calculations in a different framework. The estimation analysis is also applied to nonlinear extensions of the common transfer function expressions. The chapter contains design examples and a set of exercises to ensure that the reader understands the basic concepts.
