| DESCRIPTION | Technology considerations in sub-micron mixed signal and RF IC design Noise Modelling Low Noise Amplifiers Voltage Controlled Oscillators Mixers Study-unit Aims: The unit aims at introducing techniques for the design of basic radio frequency circuits, such as low noise amplifiers, voltage controlled oscillators and mixers, in both CMOS and bipolar technologies. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to understand and analyse fundamental R.F. integrated circuits. 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to design, simulate and optimize fundamental R.F. integrated circuits up to layout level.
