Abstract:

The central objective of this three-year composite CAD project titled CAD Design Tools for an Integrated Millimeter Wave Wireless Communication Microsystem is to develop efficient and accurate computer simulation algorithms and algorithms for analysis of mixed-technology communication systems consisting of both circuits and micro electromechanical systems MEMS. In addition, we conducted research on the development of prototype devices in order to validate the simulation software and to demonstrate the capabilities of the simulation tools. In this report, we discuss the major work accomplished in this project under six categories 1 Advanced simulation of electromagnetic fields 2 Mixed technology circuit level simulation 3 Design of low voltage radio frequency switches 4 Development of ACES Anisotropic crystalline etching simulation 5 Simulation of RF packages and interconnects and 6 Development of integrated RFIC passive components.
