Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

This course introduce the principles, analysis, and design of CMOS Radio frequency (RF) integrated circuits for wireless communication systems. Besides system level design considerations for RFIC, this course also present rule-of-thumbs in designing RF main blocks such as Low-Noise-Amplifier (LNA), mixer, Voltage-Controlled-Oscillator (VCO), and Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL). Students are supposed to understand architectures of RF system and master the keypoint of designing RF circuits. They are also required to design circuits and do simulation with Cadence SpectreRF during lab time. By taking this course, students can make good preparations for their research in relevant areas.

Course Content:

RFIC System Overview, Low Noise Amplifiers, Mixers, Voltage-Controlled-Oscillators, Phase-Locked-Loop, Power Amplifiers
