Analysis and Design of RF ICs for Communications

Undergraduate 3 unit(s) C.H. Chen This course provides a fundamental and in-depth knowledge of the analysis and design of radiofrequency (RF) integrated circuits (IC) in CMOS technology for wireless communications. The topics include the modeling of active and passive components for AC and noise analysis, design examples of amplifiers, filters, oscillators, PLL and frequency synthesizers. Circuit performance will be evaluated by both hand calculations and computer simulations. A good understanding of circuit analysis and CAD tools (e.g. HSPICE or SpectreRF) is required.
