IEEE 2017 Seasonal School: Fundamental of CMOS Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit Design
The IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) Summer School 2017 has taken place in Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang Malaysia from 8th August – 10th August 2017. The intention of this year’s event is to introduce the Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) Design to students, lecturers as well as industry engineers, therefore equipping them with the fundamental knowledge needed prior exploring deeply in this field.
This SSCAS course will introduce some of the latest and most significant topics in the area of circuit design of RF ICs for wireless infrastructure communication systems. It will cover circuit design techniques like power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers and mixers.
The course will provide an organic and accessible coverage of this rather broad subject. The latter, unfortunately, is often only partially found on disconnected sources of specialized technical literature, or in some graduate-level engineering courses, but in a rather piecemeal form. This course would instead aim to provide a sufficiently insight of the individual circuits while, at the same time, give insight on the signal chains as a whole and the inter-relation between its functional blocks.
This course also provides a comprehensive grounding in the principles associated with RF ICs for wireless systems plus practical information on their design and implementation. It also equips the participating students to put the ideas into practice through hands-on in the lab.
