Intended learning outcomes
The aim of this course is to give the student fundamental knowledge on Radio Frequency (RF) integrated circuits design. Both system- and circuit perspective is presented in a context of today wireless personal and data communication (such as GSM, CDMA, DECT or Bluetooth). The particular objective of the course is that the student should learn methods and techniques for RF front-end design oriented to CMOS technology. Detailed specifications and limitations for RF blocks are discussed throughout the course. After the course the students should be able to:
- analyze various architectures of today’s digital radio transmitters and receivers
- analyze and design basic RF building-blocks in CMOS technology
- verify and optimize RF blocks (circuits) using a professional software
- perform basic RF measurements using professional equipment (such as S-parameters, sensitivity, noise figure, IP3)
Course content
Review of integrable transceiver architectures and 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 tools. Practical RF circuit design with professional software. Industrial perspective and future prospects in RF CMOS integrated circuits.
