Trainee of Caroline is over. 2 monthes is short but she made a good work and reached some successes: her integration in João Pessoa and the lab. was really good Read More
New technology – New research theme
Our last design was made using for the first time the technology GF8SF (CMOS 0.13 um) through MOSIS educational program. We hope that models will be as good as for GF7SF Read More
Welcome to Caroline
We welcome our first foreign trainee. Her name is Caroline, she is from Limoges, France. She will work on 60 GHz power amplifier design and will use a 0.13um SiGe BiCMOS technology from Global Read More
First run using CEITEC technology
CEITEC trusted us to investigate inductor design with their technology. A first common run was initiated. We are hopping good results to continue our works with the first brazilian foundry. Read More
Increasing complexity
We had some RF blocks. It was time to increase complexity. So, we designed and received from MOSIS a low power receiver that we began to characterize. For this work, Read More
First demonstrator of a 2.4 GHz LNA
We continued our efforts to form skilled engineers in RF Microelectronics. This time, Elmo Sette realized a demonstrator of a 2.4 GHz LNA, fully functionnal. The circuit delivers a gain of Read More
First demonstrator of a 2.4 GHz oscillator
One step more! We succeeded in realizing a demonstrator of a 2.4 GHz oscillator, that is, a packaged circuit working on the PCB. For this work, the undergraduate student Ranieri Saldanha used Read More
First silicon !
We received and characterized our first RFIC: a 2.4 GHz VCO, fabricated in a technology CMOS 0.18um from XFAB. We measured a phase noise of -110 dBc/Hz in non ideal conditions. It Read More
