The Testing and Verifying Techniques of RFIC Design

It is the bond-wires,off-chip components and circuits consisted of an RFIC on-PCB test-system that could markedly effect on the applied performance of an RFIC chip.For that,the whole design flow of a commercial RFIC chip often consists of several cycles from primary IC design to testing and verifying and then to modification and redesign.Therefore,the on-chip circuits,bond-wires and off-chip components should be considered as an integrated system while designing an RFIC chip.Based on these reasons mentioned above,considering some application experiences,application techniques in RFIC designing,testing and verifying are studied in this paper.This is valuable to guiding any RFIC design.
