Abstract :
Reliable circuits must be produced by the proper utilization of circuit theory and computer aided optimization. This paper presents some results, for an LNA, L-band VCO and IF filter, using these principles. It is also discussed how good models in circuit simulators can provide more than good circuits: they help in the production tuning of manufactured equipment
