RF IC design

RF IC design is an important domain in modern IC design. Single-chip solutions require RF components on the same silicon die as the base-band processing circuitry (DSP). The design constraints are ever challenging to make the tranceiver system immune to any noise in the chip generated by neighbouring circuitry.
RF IC design covers:

• Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)
• Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
• Power Amplifier (PA)
• Mixer
