Abstract
Did you know that the magnitude of the reflection coefficient can be greater than unity for a passive load? Or that many continuous-time delta-sigma ADCs do not have implicit anti-aliasing? Or that the textbook CMOS fixed-transconductance-bias circuit can in fact be derived from first principles? Realizing little things like these have made many an engineer´s day. We are sure you have heard many such tidbits during your career, or at school. This panel discussion will feature experts from academia and industry, spanning the broad landscape of solid state circuits analog, digital, microwave, mixed signal and RF. They will unleash their bag of tricks things you thought you knew, but probably did not quite appreciate, an interesting way of looking at a well known circuit or a system, a less known facet of a commonly used idea, little known facts now finding increasing application you get the slant. The title says it all so come by to sit back, relax and interact with the experts as they present nifty nuggets from their troves.
