The aim of this course is to provide a general overview of analogue integrated circuits and systems in CMOS and Bipolar technologies with particular emphasis on high frequency circuit design for wireless products.

The course will enable students to design some of the fundamental and very important analogue interface circuits on
predominately mixed signal digital/ analogue systems. The course will also give the students a 1st hand appreciation of radio frequency circuit design, particularly for mobile radio.
