Section Description
This course provides an in-depth exploration of advanced techniques in the design and analysis of RF and mm-wave integrated circuits (ICs) for modern communication and sensing applications. Topics include RF and mm-wave transceivers system analysis, beamforming transceivers architecture, and two-port network gain, noise, and stability analysis. Students will study and design key advanced RF building blocks such as noise-canceling low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), RF variable gain amplifiers, phase shifters, and power amplifiers. Advanced concepts of mm-wave frequency generation using RF frequency multipliers and LC phase locked loops (PLLs) will also be covered.
The course emphasizes practical design methodologies using industry-standard EDA tools, electromagnetic simulation, and system-level verification. Students will apply these techniques through hands-on projects to develop functional RF/mm-wave circuit designs targeting real-world applications such as wireless communication, automoti
