Title: Designing
CMOS wireless System-on-a-chip
Speaker: Dr. David Su, Atheros
Communications
Abstract:
This talk describes the design of CMOS system-on-a-chip for wireless
communications. RF transceiver building blocks for signal
amplification, frequency translation, and frequency selectivity are
examined with emphasis on low noise amplifiers and power
amplifiers. The advantages and challenges of radio system-on-chip
integration, in particular, those related to the presence of both
analog and digital circuits on the same integrated circuits, are also
discussed.
Bio:
David Su is the VP of Analog/RF Engineering at Atheros
Communications, engaging in the design of CMOS wireless SoC. Prior to joining Atheros,
he worked at Hewlett-Packard Company designing CMOS mixed-signal/RF
ICs. Dr. Su is also a consulting professor at Stanford University. He has been an ISSCC
technical program member and served as an
JSSC associate editor. He holds a Ph.D. E.E. from Stanford University
as well as MS and BS degrees from the University
of Tennessee, Knoxville.
