The popular Short Course, Circuits and Devices for RF Wireless Networks, which was quickly filled with registrants prior to the ISSCC 2000, is now available on CD. The disk includes all the overheads that accompanied the presentations, the audio of the presentations, which can be heard with the Real Player(tm) version 7 provided on the disk, and 60 IEEE articles that the presenters cited. The Short Course is intended for engineers in the design and development of circuits and technologies for 2.4/5.6 GHz and above, and RF wireless networks. The course provides an overall perspective of competing silicon-based RFIC devices and a detailed description of possible circuit designs of key RF wireless transceiver building blocks. Topics covered include Si and SiGe device characteristics and tradeoffs in RF applications, low-noise amplifier characteristics, tradeoffs and designs; fundamental objectives in mixer designs for RF transceivers and Si/SiGe solutions; and circuit and device designs for RF power amplfiers.The CD-ROM is priced at $190 for IEEE members and $235 for non-members plus shipping.
