Title: Bring the System Down – to a Chip
Speaker: Prof. Saeed Mohammadi
Date: May 28, 2015, Thu.
Time: 4:00 PM
Venue: CALIT2 Room 3008
ABSTRACT
What if you can fit a cell phone inside a lapel pin? No batteries
required! What if you can take the temperature of mitochondria inside a
live cell without interfering with its activities? Future compact
electronic systems including devices built for the internet of
everything will rely on integration of various functions with efficient
and ultra low power communication systems. The advent of highly reliable
and scalable CMOS Silicon on Insulator (SOI) technology has opened up a
pathway for tight integration of various functions on a single chip. The
first part of the presentation will be devoted to RF and microwave power
amplifiers, including a 5G RF front-end implemented in a scaled CMOS SOI
technology. We will discuss how SOI technology facilitates the
implementation of high performance power amplifier modules. Next,
integrated sensing platforms based on CMOS SOI technology will be
presented. Such platforms, when integrated with on-chip antenna,
amplifiers and ultra-low power interface circuits allow observing
physical and biological phenomena that have not yet been reported.
