    Condition
    The goal Study of architectures and implementations of microwave and millimeter wave (Bi)CMOS integrated circuits for communication systems. Analysis and design of integrated transceivers by using analytical methods, circuit and electromagnetic simulators. Overview of flexible multi-standard architectures, Field Programmable RF and methods of digital calibration.
    The outcome Students will be able to: - understand the fundamental and technological limitations of integrated transceivers, - understand the trade-offs in integrated transceivers, - understand the system level specifications, derive the optimal chip architecture and block specifications, - design and integrate the transceiver on their own.
