CMOS RF IC Design

（Prof. Thomas H. Lee, August 26, 2014,Shanghai）

1、Impedance transformation

   ▲When to do it; When not to do it; how to do it

▲Bode-Fano limits on matching bandwidth

▲Unintended transformation by active circuits: "Strange impedance behaviors (SIBs); simple models and examples

▲Conscious exploitation of SIBs

2、Noise in linear, time-invariant (LTI) systems

▲LNA design: Noise match vs. power match

▲How to use SIBs to achieve good noise and power match simultaneously

▲Noise "cancellation"

3、Noise in linear, time-varying (LTV) systems

▲Phase noise in oscillators: Theory and practice

▲Noise in mixers

4、Nonlinearity

▲Figures of merit: 1-dB compression point; intermodulation intercepts (IP2, IP3); adjacent-channel power ratio (ACPR); spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR)

▲Nonlinearity reduction techniques: Feedback; strong and weak feedforward

5、Techniques for circuit design at extremes of frequency

▲Amplifier bandwidth extension techniques: Shunt peaking; bridged T-coil; distributed architectures; Ft-doubler

▲Oscillator and synthesizer frequency extension techniques: Multiphase push-push-push; frequency multiplication with nonlinear elements; injection locking (if time permits)

▲Power combining structures and strategies: Corporate combiners; free-space combining

▲Interconnect: Microstrip, stripline, coplanar waveguide

Systematic Design of Oscillator Circuits

（Prof. Asad A. Abidi, August 30, 2014,Hefei）

In this one day tutorial/short course, Prof. Asad A. Abidi will present his unique highly valued training methods and contents of oscillator design based on fundamental analysis and calculation, not the common PDK-based and EDA-based “error-and-try” optimization. It will most benefit circuit designers in industry involved with oscillators and frequency synthesizers.

▲Noise processes in CMOS oscillators;

▲Time-domain jitter calculation;

▲Effects of white noise and flicker noise etc.;

▲What dominates the jitter and phase noise?

▲Where are they arise from?

▲Theocratic analysis and design of circuits with validation;

▲Straightforward expressions for period jitter and phase noise enable manual design;

▲Design guidance from ring and LC oscillator.
