Aggressive scaling of CMOS and SiGe technologies has brought the highly-integrated RF front-ends and millimeter wave ICs into the domain of silicon technology. The high frequency performance of silicon devices is leading to a coa­lescing of microwave and silicon microelectronics, making ‘ubiquitous wireless’ practical and affordable. Silicon foundries providing nano-scale feature sizes continue to boom, particularly in the Asia region

With this background, the workshop aims to provide a forum for exchange of information and update on latest developments in the area of radio frequency integrated circuits and inte­gration of communication systems. Participation by the IC design community from both academia and industry is highly encouraged. Accordingly, leading edge and contemporary topics such as RFICs, OEICs, BioICs, including design, characterization, fabrication or implementation and packaging, will define the themes of the workshop. In this year’s workshop, the focus will be on RF transceiver architecture and the design of high performance transceiver blocks for emerging wideband and high-frequency communi­ca­tion, as well as low power wireless sensor networks applications.

In addition to oral presentations and posters, distinguished leaders will be invited to deliver keynote speeches on significant trends, advancements and applications in areas related to the theme.

 The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

Wireless Data and Wideband Communication System ICs: UWB, WiMAX, WLAN, 802.11x, Bluetooth, MMDS, TV Tuners …

RF Transceiver Architecture for Modern and future Cellular Systems: GPS, GSM, EDGE, TDMA, WCDMA, 3G, 4G …

RF and Optical IC Building Blocks: LNA, Mixer, VGA, Filter, Modulator, PA, Driver, VCO, PLL, Synthesizer, ADC …

Millimeter Wave ICs and Applications

Modeling and CAD

Low Power Wireless Sensor Networks and RF Identification

Integrated Bio Electronics and Health Care Sensors with Wireless Connectivity

Optical System IC’s and Architectures
