ABSTRACT |
|
This seminar describes the challenges in
designing CMOS systems-on-a-chip for wireless communications. RF
transceiver building blocks for signal amplification, frequency
translation, and frequency selectivity are examined with special
emphasis on low-noise amplifier, power amplifier, mixer, and frequency
synthesizer. System-on-a-chip integration issues are also
discussed. |

David Su was born in Kuching,
Malaysia. He received the BSEE and MSME degrees from the
University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and the PhDEE from Stanford
University. From 1985 to 1989 and 1994 to 1999, he
worked for Hewlett-Packard Company in Corvallis, OR, Singapore, and Palo
Alto, CA, where he designed CMOS mixed-signal, analog, and RF ICs.
He has been with Atheros Communications since February 1999, where he is
the VP of Analog/RF Engineering, engaging in the design of CMOS
transceivers for wireless communications. Dr. Su is a technical
program subcommittee member of the ISSCC and an associate editor of the
IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits from 2004 to 2007. He was a
co-recipient of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits 2002 Best Paper
Award and the 2004 ISSCC Beatrice Winner Editorial Award. He is
also a consulting professor at Stanford University. Dr. Su is an
IEEE Fellow. |
