Use of computational electromagnetics (EM) in the design of radio-frequency integrated-circuit (RFIC) is presented. Computational EM is not only essential, but also inevitable, for RFIC design without it, it is simply not possible to accurately design (or even design) RFICs effectively and timely. Several examples including RFIC band-pass filter and power amplifier designed based on computational...
In this paper, the major methodologies proposed in the last years to speed-up the synthesis of radio-frequency integrated circuits blocks are overviewed. The challenges to automate this task are discussed, and, to avoid non-systematic iterations between circuit and layout design steps, the architecture of an innovative solution is proposed. The proposed tool exploits the full capabilities of most...
This study presents a parasitic-aware RF circuit synthesis tool, in which layout-induced parasitics of passive devices are captured by using sophisticated equivalent models for them. Recently, analog circuit design has been fully automated, where a circuit sizing is followed by a layout generator. However, there is often a discrepancy between synthesis and post-layout results, especially for RF applications,...
In this work, a thin-film integrated passive device (TF-IPD) technology has been developed to meet the requirements of smaller form factor, lower cost, and faster design cycling time in modern RF front-end application. Two very compact and highly-selective TF-IPD lowpass filter designs for the Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA) application are demonstrated. They are required to pass the CATV-band...
