Abstract :
The design of next-generation RFICs remains challenging and demands innovation. In addition, with signal frequencies reaching tens of GHz, testing these circuits has created extraordinary challenges. This issue of D&T features a special issue on design and test of RFICs. This issue also includes an in-depth interview with Chris Rowen—founder, president, and CEO of Tensilica. In addition, there are four general-interest articles addressing diverse design and test issues.
