+# RFICS Presentation Structure
+
+## Organizational stuff
+
+- Duration: 10 minutes slides + 15 minutes questions
+- Bring own laptop or send slides
+
+## Content
+
+- Background and Introduction
+  - Standard way of doing things ("Old technique")
+  - Explanation of issue the ideas in the paper are aimed at
+- Proposed Ideas
+  - Discussion of semiconductor technology; Comparison with IHP technology (if
+    sufficient details are provided)
+  - Circuit schematics
+  - Explanation of which topology is used and why
+  - Is there anything unconventional about the design?
+  - Explanation of measurement results in paper
+- Simulation Results
+  - Explanation of design steps (e.g., approach proposed in lecture: worry
+    about bias in the end)
+    - How transistors were chosen
+    - Choice of operating point
+    - Rest of schematic details
+  - Simulation of circuit in paper (with explanation - I guess intuitive
+    explanation of why things look the way they do?)
+  - If the design in the paper is different to the standard approach:
+    Comparison of pros and cons with standard topology, with simulations
+- Discussion
+  - Own observations and opinions about the ideas in the paper
+  - (Bonus) Further simulations with ideas from the lecture
+- Conclusion
+
+## Things not to include
+
+- Layout issues and optimization are out of scope, in case they exist in the
+  paper
