Abstract :
Next-generation nano-scale RFIC designs have an unprecedented complexity and performance that will inevitably lead to costly re-spins and loss of market opportunities. In order to cope with this, the aim of the European Framework 6 CHAMELEON RF project is to develop methodologies and prototype tools for a comprehensive and highly accurate analysis of complete functional IC blocks. These blocks will operate at RF frequencies of up to 60 GHz. At the SPI an introduction to, and overview of the first results achieved in the CHAMELEON RF will be given
