CMOS Multichannel Single-Chip Receivers for Multi-Gigabit Optical Data Communications (Paperback, Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2007)

In the world of optical data communications this book will be an absolute must-read. It focuses on optical communications for short and very short distance applications and discusses the monolithic integration of optical receivers with processing elements in standard CMOS technologies. What s more, it provides the reader with the necessary background knowledge to fully understand the trade-offs in short-distance communication receiver design and presents the key issues to be addressed in the development of such receivers in CMOS technologies. Moreover, novel design approaches are presented."
