Abstract：

Agile multi-functional RF systems supporting multiple communication and radar protocols are of greater demand in modern wireless applications. The core of these systems is the transceiver IC that covers an ultra-wide frequency range, provides highly flexible signal bandwidths, and adjusts its power consumption accordingly in different use cases. This broad frequency coverage ensures compatibility with a wide range of communication protocols and standards, enabling seamless connectivity in diverse environments. Meanwhile, the transceiver IC is desired to provide flexible gain and signal bandwidths and to adjust its power consumption dynamically to accommodate different applications. This is critical for achieving optimal performance in various operation conditions. In this seminar talk, I will present several recently published design techniques from Fudan RFicae group, specifically tailored for wideband transceivers.
