About the course
Aim
To give fundamental and practical knowledge on Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) design for radio transceivers aimed for digital wireless personal and data communication standards such as 3G, 4G, WLAN, Bluetooth, etc.
After the course the students should be able to:
- analyze and design basic RF building blocks in CMOS technology, such as LNAs, mixers, oscillators, PLLs, PAs,
- verify and optimize RF blocks (circuits) using a professional software,
- perform basic RF measurements using professional equipment.
Content
Review of integrated transceiver architectures and principles of RF CMOS circuit design, including noise analysis and passive device. Design and circuit analysis of basic RFCMOS blocks: low noise amplifiers (LNA), mixers, oscillators, frequency synthesizer (PLL), power amplifiers (PA).
Industrial perspectives and future prospects of RF CMOS integrated circuits.
Laboratory work includes RF circuit design using professional software and practical RF measurements in research lab environment.
