Automated hierarchical synthesis of radio frequency integrated circuits and systems : a systematic and multilevel approach

Automated hierarchical synthesis of radio frequency integrated circuits and systems : a systematic and multilevel approach / Fábio Passos, Elisenda Roca, Rafael Castro-López, Francisco V. Fernández.

This book describes a new design methodology that allows optimization-based synthesis of RF systems in a hierarchical multilevel approach, in which the system is designed in a bottom-up fashion, from the device level up to the (sub)system level. At each level of the design hierarchy, the authors dis...
