Dear All,
I'm currently a masters student in Rutgers University studying Electrical Engineering, and I want to one day become an analog design engineer and design op-amps, amplifiers, PLL etc.
Now Rutgers University is not a good school for those wanting to go into circuit design, hell we couldnt find a faculty member to teach power electronics! And no semiconductor company ever visits our career fairs. The relevent courses I have taken from my undergraduate years to my graduate year are:
Control Systems (Classical Control)
Digital Signal Processing (I believe it's useful ??)
Analog Electronics (Single-stage amps, Differential Amp, current mirror, feedback/stability etc)
RFIC Design (We used a book by Ravazi)
VLSI Design (I'm not into Digital stuff, but took it anyways for the lab experience)
I want a career where I may get the opportunity to design RF/Analog IC chips at the transistor level and use feedback theory for compensation and what not.
So can any engineer whose in the IC design field provide me with some advice on how I can one day work as a analog/rf ic design engineer, and what are some good books for self-studying?
Sincerely,
Nabil Mohammad
