INTEGRATED CIRCUIT COMPONENTS DESIGN ESSENTIALS

Abstract:

Our Country’s Technological developments and achievements in Space Engineering, Defence frontiers, Biomedical Engineering are Phenomenal and stand tall in the International arena. ‘Miniaturization’ is the common Mantra for all the above. Microwave Integrated Circuits (M.I.C) Technology is the backbone for it.The huge Microwave system is the combination of M.I.C.components.The workshop involves the Design Essentials, mainly the lay out design from the fundamentals of M.I.C.Theory, coupled mode theory, S paremeters, Even mode, Odd mode analysis, Nomograms, CAD technique .Discontinuity analysis , over view of planar transmission lines and their variants also will be touched upon.

From different mathematical functions, method of obtaining ‘g’ values for different filters, Transformations, Realizations in M.I.C. forms and Implementations will be discussed. Necessary Microwave Circuit theory and Nomograms to obtain the design parameters will be discussed. The complete lay out and the fabrication too will be taken up. The standard heritage books , classic papers I.R.E. of inventors ,application notes of Agilent, Radiation laboratory series and Philips -manuals too will be discussed. The introduction to Frequency Selective Surfaces also will be dealt with.The importance of fundamental coding will be made visible through Compurt Aided Design of Microswave Integrated Circuits.
