Design tools

Computer-aided analysis techniques are extensively used. An extensive design project is an integral part of the course.

Textbook:

The course is based on a combination of instructor's notes, technical papers and textbook chapters.

The textbook we will use most is:

B. Razavi: "RF Microelectronics" , Prentice Hall, New Jersey, 1998.

see also this overview of the book chapters in the textbook.

We will often refer to the following textbook as well:

T. Lee: "The design of CMOS Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuits" , 2nd edition, Cambridge University Press, 2004.

Grading:
 Homeworks/Design Project  35%
 Midterm (written) 25%
 Final (written) 40%

Remote Students

Remote students need the ability to remotely run the design tools on our VLSI/CISL Teaching machines in Mudd 12th floor. This involves setting up an ssh connection to the machines and running an Xserver on your system. Instructions are at http://www.ee.columbia.edu/systems/x11.html

Make sure your are confident you have a sufficiently fast internet connection (broadband). Make sure you understand the use of ssh & X11 before you register for this course as a remote student.

We will not be able to help you setting up that connection since it is too specific to your particular computing setup and internet connection.
