This course will deliver RF integrated circuits design
methodologies using CMOS and SiGe BiCMOS
technologies while also providing
advantages/disadvantages of other RF technologies in
terms of RF/microwave figure of merits.
RF integrated circuit design fundamental/parameters
will be reviewed, S-parameters, nonlinearity,
sensitivity, efficiency, noise figure, input, output
dynamic ranges, matching, etc., and implemented,
along with circuit design fundamentals, at different
circuits, such as
Low Noise Amplifiers, Mixers, Oscillators, Frequency
Synthesizers, and Power Amplifiers, Phase Shifters,
Attenuators, etc. Recitation/Lab implementations will
be carried out by designing such circuits using CAD
tools, such as Cadence, ADS, Momentum, Sonnet, and
also will include testing practices of such circuits.
