System-to-Circuit Requirements
Translate radio standards, link budgets, receiver sensitivity, coexistence, emissions and architecture constraints into specifications for the individual RF blocks.
Engagements can range from architecture and requirements definition to detailed circuit analysis, design review, technology selection and mentoring.
Translate radio standards, link budgets, receiver sensitivity, coexistence, emissions and architecture constraints into specifications for the individual RF blocks.
Detailed circuit design and performance analysis for LNAs, mixers, PAs, synthesizers, RF switches, IF circuits, bias, filters and related transceiver functions.
Independent review of architectures, circuit tradeoffs, simulation assumptions, measured performance, robustness, yield and design risks.
Mobile RF front-end architecture, filtering, carrier aggregation, coexistence, isolation, antenna path constraints, switch requirements and integration strategy.
Compare CMOS, SOI, BiCMOS, GaAs and multi-chip approaches based on RF performance, cost, size, integration, loss, linearity, power and manufacturability.
Custom instruction and mentoring in RFIC and analog IC design, system tradeoffs and the connection between radio requirements and circuit performance.
