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
