Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits and Systems (RFICS) (2+2 SWS)

with RFICS Design Workshop

Please see ILIAS Webpage for further details.

Lecturer: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ahmet Cagri Ulusoy

Workshops: M. Sc. Ibrahim Kagan Aksoyak

Lecture Topics:

• Understanding of RF-IC technologies
• Analysis of active and passive components in IC-design
• Overview of system level approach to RF-ICs and transceiver topologies
• Theory and design of basic building blocks of an integrated transceiver including low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), mixers, voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) and power amplifiers (PAs)

Design Workshop:

• The lecture will be organized in parallel to an RF-IC design workshop where the students will have access to a state-of-the art BiCMOS technology and will design RF-IC building blocks in industry-standard tools
