Providing the first truly comprehensive overview of Network Tomography - a novel network monitoring approach that makes use of inference techniques to reconstruct the internal network state from external vantage points - this rigorous yet accessible treatment of the fundamental theory and algorithms of network tomography covers the most prominent results demonstrated on real-world data, including identifiability conditions, measurement design algorithms, and network state inference algorithms, alongside practical tools for applying these techniques to real-world network management. It describes the main types of mathematical problems, along with their solutions and properties, and emphasizes the actions that can be taken to improve the accuracy of network tomography. With proofs and derivations introduced in an accessible language for easy understanding, this is an essential resource for professional engineers, academic researchers, and graduate students in network management and netwo

Model order reduction (MOR) techniques reduce the complexity of VLSI designs, paving the way to higher operating speeds and smaller feature sizes. This book presents a systematic introduction to, and treatment of, the key MOR methods employed in general linear circuits, using real-world examples to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of each algorithm. Following a review of traditional projection-based techniques, coverage progresses to more advanced MOR methods for VLSI design, including HMOR, passive truncated balanced realization (TBR) methods, efficient inductance modeling via the VPEC model, and structure-preserving MOR techniques. Where possible, numerical methods are approached from the CAD engineer's perspective, avoiding complex mathematics and allowing the reader to take on real design problems and develop more effective tools. With practical examples and over 100 illustrations, this book is suitable for researchers and graduate students of electrical and computer eng

This book, first published in 2004, is an expanded and thoroughly revised edition of Tom Lee's acclaimed guide to the design of gigahertz RF integrated circuits. A new chapter on the principles of wireless systems provides a bridge between system and circuit issues. The chapters on low-noise amplifiers, oscillators and phase noise have been significantly expanded. The chapter on architectures now contains several examples of complete chip designs, including a GPS receiver and a wireless LAN transceiver, that bring together the theoretical and practical elements involved in producing a prototype chip. Every section has been revised and updated with findings in the field and the book is packed with physical insights and design tips, and includes a historical overview that sets the whole field in context. With hundreds of circuit diagrams and homework problems this is an ideal textbook for students taking courses on RF design and a valuable reference for practising engineers.
