    Analog Alliance

    Analog and RF Circuit Design


    Example outcomes gained by taking this track would include joining groups that design
    and maintain the following types of chips, sub-systems and systems: wireless
    communications and networking, radars, and Electronic Warfare systems. Local
    employers looking for skills in this area would include Analog Devices, IBM, Rambus,
    RF M D, Sony-Ericsson, and Harris Corporation. Employers outside of NC that recruit at
    NCSU include Northrop Grumman, and a number of Government Labs. Courses central
    to obtaining this outcome are the following:
    ECE 549 RF Design For Wireless
    ECE 514 Random Processes
    ECE 546 VLSI Design
    ECE 511 Analog Electronics
    ECE 719 Microwave Circuit Design
    ECE 712 Integrated Circuit Design for Wireless Communications
    Additional courses you should consider include the following:
    ECE 520 Digital ASIC Design (to understand mixed signal design)
    ECE 513 Digital Signal Processing (application area)
    ECE 515 Digital Communications (application area)
    ECE 582 Wireless Communications Systems (application area)
    ECE 540 Electromagnetics (essential background)
    ECE 557 Principles of MOS Transistors (very useful knowledge for circuit
    designers)
    ECE 733 Digital Electronics (if you are interested in chip interface design)

    Sample M S Plan of Work


    These plans of work are suggestions only. Feel free to seek other advice or to structure
    your own curricula. Please note that the actual courses taught are constantly changing,
    and these might be out of date. These are written assuming you are a full time student
    taking 10 courses over three semesters. You might choose to not overload in Spring, but
    take one last course in Spring after this.
