This workshop will begin by covering the basics of transceiver design.Topics will range from CMOS device and passive component modeling to wireless building block design to the realization of full transceiver systems on a chip. High integration transmitters, receivers, and synthesizers as well as newer digital transceivers systems will be discussed. In general, this tutorial heavily emphasizes CMOS circuit design and high integration radios for common commercial standards including cellular and Wireless LAN.
