Tutorial title: Glimpse of Radio Frequency IC Design

The primary focus of the tutorial will be to introduce the low power RFIC design and its emerging opportunity. This would include the challenges in RF Design such as its RF-Circuits and transreceiver design and how it differs from conventional analog design.

Short summary of the topics: Basics of RF-IC Design, such as different performance parameters for example: linearity, noise, amplification etc. State of the art transreceiver architecture. Standards of wireless communication and their modulation schemes (GSM, Zigbee, Bluetooth etc.). Followed by discussion on design principles of various transceivers and their CMOS implementation.

Tutorial title: Modeling the High & Low Frequency Operationsof Sub-Micron MOSFET Devices

The primary focus is to train the audience with clear fundamentals on HF & LF device operation necessary for HF circuit designs. The audience will have hand-on training on device simulations and a qualitative concept of the various numerical modules inside a simulator and thereby a basic knowledge of how a simulator works and how are device simulators different from circuit simulators and SPICE.

Short summary of the topics: In this tutorial we will begin with the major solutions of the detrimental effects of scaling on MOSFET performance. The study will primarily be focused on the Physics based analytical modeling of sub-micron devices pertaining to the technology nodes used in practical IC designs. The specific modeling approaches like BSIM, EKV, HiSim & PSP will be discussed as these standard models are used in circuit designing software. Then we will conclude the tutorial with the analysis of high frequency operation including the parasitics related to HF applications such as RFIC designs.
