Summary
Analog versus high-frequency circuit design
Analog ICs are characterized by the common use of:
differential stages with active loads,
DC-coupled broadband amplifiers (i.e. no DC-blocking capacitors are present between stages),
strong impedance mismatch between stages,
input and output impedance matching based on negative feedback or resistors.
At the same time, analog designers work with:
currents,
voltages,
transistors,
capacitors, and
resistors,
while employing small signal AC, noise, and transient large signal simulations to analyze the performance of their circuits. In contrast, traditional microwave circuit design deals with:
single-ended stages with a small number of transistors,
AC-coupled, tuned narrowband or broadband gain stages,
reactive components such as inductors, transformers, capacitors, and transmission lines, and
lossless impedance matching to maximize power gain and minimize noise figure.
