The long-term goal is to study and propose new architectures for high-frequency receivers/transmitters (transceivers) for wireless systems, which facilitate high levels of transceiver integration in CMOS, bipolar, and SiGe technologies. We will work on both the RF receiver and transmitter paths. In addition, we will work on the design of high-frequency digital circuits and high-frequency analog baseband filters. In order to successfully realize integrated circuits in the GHz range, it is imperative to have accurate passive and active device models suitable for these applications. We will continue our work on device modeling and characterization (e.g., inductors, transformers, varactors, transistors, etc.)
