Low Noise AmplifierAbidi, ISSCC 2006 Analog / RF Design in Deep Submicron • Transistor scaling advantages: • Ubiquitous transistors • Transistor fT • SOC Integration • Disadvantages: • Process variation • Inaccurate device/parasitic modeling • Increased design time / cost • Un-optimum fabricated silicon • Analog / RF Design has not changed!
Example: 2.4GHz LNA S11, S22 • SS,TT,FF Process Skew, 30mV Threshold Variation • 180nm UMC, RF/mixed-signal process • Variation MUCH worse than simulated • Not including metal/dielectric variation • Not RF design in 90nm/65nm logic process
Proposing Programmable, ParallelRF Circuit Design • Transistors are free • Create parallel, digitally switchable RF Circuits • Novelty: Digital On-Die Calibration • Exact device models / parasitic extraction unnecessary • Design time reduction • Design benefit from DeepSubmicron CMOS
Conclusion • Oregon State is a great place to pursue a graduate degree • I am looking for intense, bright students to start my research group • Questions? • Email: pchiang_calstan@yahoo.com • Email: pchiang@ece.oregonstate.edu
