Today's integrated silicon circuits and systems for wireless communications are of a huge complexity.This unique compendium covers all the steps (from the system-level to the transistor-level) necessary to design, model, verify, implement, and test a silicon system. It bridges the gap between the system-world and the transistor-world (between communication, system, circuit, device, and test engineers).It is extremely important nowadays (and will be more important in the future) for communication, system, and circuit engineers to understand the physical implications of system and circuit solutions based on hardware/software co-design as well as for device and test engineers to cope with the system and circuit requirements in terms of power, speed, and data throughput.Related Link(s)Contents: Design:System Architecture (Zoran Stamenković, Mile Stojčev)Digital Baseband (Zoran Stamenković, Mile Stojčev and Bojan Dimitrijević)Analog Front-End (Gildas Leger and Antonio Gines)Modeling:System Models (Zoran Stamenković, Bojan Dimitrijević and Mile Stojčev)Digital Circuit Models (Zoran Stamenković, Bojan Dimitrijević and Mile Stojčev)AMS Circuit Budgets (Gildas Leger and Antonio Gines)Embedded Memories (Hassen Aziza)Implementation and Integration:Implementation Methodologies (Zoran Stamenković and Gildas Leger)Semi-Custom Implementation of Digital Circuits (Zoran Stamenković and Miloš Krstić)Full-Custom Implementation of Analog and Mixed-Signal Circuits (Gildas Leger and Antonio Gines)Integration (Gildas Leger, Antonio Gines and Zoran Stamenković)Verification and Testing:Verification (Ernesto Sanchez)Digital Testing (Alberto Bosio)Analog, Mixed-Signal, and RF Circuits Test (Gildas Leger)Embedded Memory Test (Hassen Aziza and Alberto Bosio)
