Re: I want to learn RFIC
As RFIC teachers are still not available so easily.
Above all its not so easy as one may think.
I've been learning and researching on RFIC for last 7 months and i stil have a long way to go even to start it right !
Hi other than learning all the em and RF stuff you would still need to get familarize with some software design tool like ADS, HFSS, IE3d etc. It's going to be a tough road ahead.
Regards
all advices above are useful for those biginners like us
best way to learn rfic is to read course notes, do projects, simulate circuits and read papers.
Best way is to have exprience; neither books neither course documents , neither other papers..
Try and see.
That's it..
I guess the below are needed:
1. Experience
2. Technical know how
3. Some luck
I am still struggling to do my best.
May if there are any good information.
Do share it here.
Good luck. :D
how you guys read papers?
I find every time my search will end up with tens of papers. How could you pick the right one fitting your projects?
Hi
teh best beginning to learn RFIC is to read what others have done. So JSSC is a good start, then move to Steve C. Cripps and so on
Good luck!
i don,t think u need to know a lot of EM
if u know basic transmission line concepts, matchng,Smith chart
by experience & hardwork u can master
u can user
MW Engg by Pozar
RFIC by t h Lee
IEEE papers
RF microelectronics RAzzavi
etc.
