UE Radiofrequency Integrated Circuits

The goal of this teaching is to acquire a good understanding of:

• Analog RF integrated circuit design,
• Analog Signal Processing in RF,
• Basic concepts in RF design.
• RF Front End Architectures for integration.
• Technology and modeling of integrated devices for RF.
• Design principles of basic RF blocks (LNA, Mixers, VCO, Power Amplifiers).

This teaching module will be divided into 2 parts

- Radiofrequency Integrated Circuits (course) – 14 hours – 3 ECTS

-  Lab work: Design of integrated RF circuits – 24 hours – 3 ECTS
