ACKNOWLEDGMENT This thesis acknowledges the following people for their support and assistance: First, I would like to thank my advisor, Professor Un-Ku Moon, for allowing me to be part of his research group, and for supporting me financially. I learned alot from his wide knowledge of circuits. I also would like to thank my co-advisor, Professor Gábor C. Temes, for his assistance, and for his jokes at the research group meetings. His career has, and will continue to serve, as an inspiration to me. Special thanks to José Silva for his many hours of assistance with Cadence and MATLAB. I appreciate also our discussions of many design topics, and his patient help with Delta Sigma modulator design issues. I would also like to thank my other group members for their help and support.
