Abstract
In this chapter the bottom-up design methodology described in Chap. 4 will be applied to the design of an RF front-end receiver. With such methodology, the passive level is first designed (e.g., several inductors topologies), then the circuit level (e.g., LNA, VCO, and mixer), until reaching the system level, where all the circuits are connected in order to design the RF front-end receiver. This was the first time that such bottom-up multilevel methodology was used for RF circuits, from the device up to the front-end level.
