Welcome to my web site!

    I am a former graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  My advisor was Charlie Chung-Ping Chen in the ECE Department.  My research work was concerned with designing a low-power transceiver circuits. I graduated in fall 2003.

    But due to the recent advances in CMOS technology, the minimum feature size of CMOS device is decreasing and as a result the f_T of the transistors continues to improve and has reached to a point where f_T of CMOS is comparable to those in GaAs and SiGe processes. My thesis project was to demonstrate a monolithic CMOS wireless transceiver for Bluetooth system without any off-chip components. I designed the analog transceiver, which integrates all the building blocks on a single chip, including a RF switch, Low Noise Amplifier  (LNA) with an on chip input matching network, an image rejection Mixer (IRM), gm-C filter, Limiter, RSSI, a DLL based gfsk Demodulator, Clock and Data Recovery Circuit (CDR), fractional-N synthesizer and a Sigma Delta D/A.
