Passos F., Roca E., Castro-López R., Fernández F.V. Automated Hierarchical Synthesis of Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuits and Systems: A Systematic and Multilevel Approach

New York: Springer, 2020. — 198 p.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 discuss methods that increase the design robustness and increase the accuracy and efficiency of the simulations. The methodology described enables circuit sizing and layout in a complete and automated integrated manner, achieving optimized designs in significantly less time than with traditional approaches.RF Receiver Architectures
