Radio Frequency IC Design

Principles of RF CMOS circuit design

Transceiver architectures- Heterodyne, Direct Conversion, Low-IF

Noise and Impedance Matching

Building blocks for radio frequency CMOS Circuits: low noise amplifier (LNA), Passive and active mixers, oscillator, including VCO, Frequency synthesizer and phase locked loops (PLL), power amplifier

RF design software: System Integration, Layout, Packaging
