Course Description
This course is part of a series of classes that show you how to use Cadence tools and flows in a co-design environment successfully. Co-design here refers to using the Virtuoso® multi-technology framework that encapsulates RFIC/PCB/Package flows in a single combined environment to enable faster design. This first section of the course shows how you can implement a transceiver RFIC module of a 5G mmWave mobile handset working at 28GHz. This is done using the ICADVM tool in conjunction with Spectre® RF simulator to design and run simulations on the transceiver. You are provided with a walkthrough of the design complexity and simulation techniques. The labs contain block-wise setup and simulation of the complete RFIC design.Learning Objectives
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Compare the RFIC design challenges at 28GHz with that of 4G design
- Implement a 5G mobile handset design using the Cadence Virtuoso multi-technology framework
- Review the Cadence VRF (Virtuoso RF) flows for co-design and EM simulation
- Analyze the output at different transmitter blocks using Spectre RF simulations in the Virtuoso environment
- Analyze the output at different receiver blocks using Spectre RF simulations in the Virtuoso environment
