This class is designed for students who have experienced the basic RF-CMOS circuit design at millimeter frequencies. In this lecture, various issues associated with the deep-nano scale CMOS process and high frequency operations will be covered. In addition, state-of-the art reports of RFICs presented in the top-tier journals and conferences will be reviewed by a lead student and discussed in the class.

There is no hard prerequisite for this class, but experience of RFICs is highly demanded.
