Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits courses




Goal: The aim of this course is to give the student knowledge on fundamental Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver design. Mainly circuit perspective is presented in a context of today wireless personal and data communication. The particular objective of the course is that the student shall learn basic methods and techniques for RF circuit design oriented to CMOS technology . Detailed specifications and limitations for RF blocks are discussed throughout the course.
Content:
Principles of RF CMOS circuit design. Circuit design of basic RF CMOS blocks: low noise amplifier (LNA), mixer, oscillator, frequency synthesizer, power amplifier. Introduction to RF design. Practical RF circuit design with professional software
