Nonlinear Circuits Handbook, 1976

Nonlinear Circuits Handbook, Edited by Dan Sheingold, Analog Devices, 1976.

This was the first major book devoted exclusively to nonlinear circuits including multipliers, modulators, mixers, logarithmic amplifiers, rms-to-dc converters, and other translinear circuits. Many Analog Devices technologists contributed to the book, including Barrie Gilbert and Lew Counts. The book is still popular as a fundamental reference on the subject.
