The project includes designing a Transmitter (Tx), Receiver (Rx) and a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL). The project is supervised by Dr. Mohamed El-Nozahi and Dr. Mostafa Gamal. The project is sponsored by Analog Devices Inc. (ADI). Final Discussion Grade: A+ BLOCKS CONTRIBUTION: • Designing a very challenging Ultra-Wideband Amplifier with Low Noise. Covering frequencies from 10 GHz to 50 GHz. Noise is critical since the block is 2nd stage of the Rx. It consists of 3 stages of inductively degenerated CS with inductive peaking and feedback per stage to extend bandwidth. Specs: NF=4dB, gain=18dB, max. ripple of 1dB and IIP3=-15dBm. • Designing a very challenging Programmable Image Rejection Band Pass Filter on which the whole receiver’s operation depends. It consists of cascaded Low pass and High pass filters (since wideband). Programmability is achieved by capacitive bank and linear designed switches. Specs: 30dB image rejection, Insertion loss=3dB, max. ripple of 1dB and IIP3=20dBm. • The Amplifier is inserted between the Low pass and High pass filters to avoid their interaction. • Full Layout of three blocks (including VDD) and EM simulation were performed using EMX. SYSTEM CONTRIBUTION: • Receiver System Design: Survey on Standards existing within frequency range from 10 GHz to 50 GHz, Rx Architecture Selection, Cascading analysis and Frequency bands planning. • Receiver Integration and verification. • PLL System: Frequency range (7 GHz to 14 GHz), Frequency multipliers values and Phase noise spec. • EMX process file was written.

Egypt CMOS Analog IC Design The course was mainly in the design of CMOS Analog ICs which content was: • Single stage CMOS amplifiers (CS, CG& CD) design and analysis. • Telescopic and folded Cascodes design and analysis. • Frequency response. • Current mirrors with different topologies. • Differential amplifiers (Resistive and active loaded). • Five transistor OTA (5TOTA) and its stability, compensations and design. • gm/ID Design methodology with various design… Show more CMOS Analog IC Design The course was mainly in the design of CMOS Analog ICs which content was: • Single stage CMOS amplifiers (CS, CG& CD) design and analysis. • Telescopic and folded Cascodes design and analysis. • Frequency response. • Current mirrors with different topologies. • Differential amplifiers (Resistive and active loaded). • Five transistor OTA (5TOTA) and its stability, compensations and design. • gm/ID Design methodology with various design examples. • Negative feedback. • Noise. • OTA topologies. • Common mode feedback network CMFB. • Variability and mismatch. • Advanced biasing and references (band gap reference circuit). • Projects and labs. The training duration was 2 months (90 hours = 45 hours lectures + 45 hours labs + Quizzes). It contained 8 labs which were: 1) MOSFET long channel and short channel characteristics and basic simulations of RC circuit. 2) Common-source amplifier. 3) Cascode amplifier. 4) Frequency response of CD buffer. 5) Current mirrors. 6) Differential amplifier. 7) Negative feedback. 8) Noise simulation. Projects using Cadence Virtuoso and ADT which are: 1) OTA design. 2) Two-stage Miller OTA. 3) Fully differential folded Cascode OTA with CMFB network. 4) Final day design challenge: Designing a two-stage miller OTA with high bandwidth with no lab guidelines.

Cairo, Egypt I was in a team of 7 students after my freshman year in Engineering ASU. We invented a remote-controlled car using Arduino, motors and wheels. It is controlled via a mobile application by using Bluetooth to connect it to mobile. We learned a lot and had a great experience such as teamwork and problem solving. We took the 4th place.
