RFSemiconductorIEEE BRAC University Student Branch organized a seminar on “Semiconductor Trends for RF Wireless” on Thursday, July 9, 2009. The seminar was delivered by Razak Hossain, Senior Principal Engineer at ST-Ericsson, San Diego, California. He has been at ST-Ericsson and STMicroelectronics since 2000 where he worked on scaled CMOS RF transceivers, high speed ASIC chips and design methodologies.
Mr. Razak discussed the state of the wireless semiconductor ecosystem with trends and technology directions: current market conditions, TAM evolution and cost driven technology changes. He then focused on two papers he co-authored in 2008’s ISSCC conference on a 65nm WiFi/WiMAX Transmitter and Receiver. Mr. Razak then discussed the implementation of RF circuitry using scaled CMOS digital processes and demonstrated results from silicon measurements. (By M. Shamsul Kaonain)

Event Notice: IEEE Seminar on Semiconductor Trends for RF Wireless

We are very glad to inform you that IEEE BRAC University Student Branch is going to arrange a seminar titled “Semiconductor Trends for RF Wireless.” on July 09, 2009. Dr. Razak Hossain is going to conduct the seminar. All of you are cordially invited to attend.
Venue: UB 0223, BRAC University
Time: 2:45 PM to 4:30 PM
Short Abstract of the Seminar: The seminar will include discussions on the state of the wireless semiconductor ecosystem with trends and technology directions: current market conditions, TAM evolution, cost driven technology changes. This will provide an introduction to where wireless semiconductors are going.
Also, there will be a discussion on two papers Dr. Razak Hossain co-authored in 2008’s ISSCC conference on a 65nm WiFi/WiMax Transmitter and Receiver. These papers discuss the implementation of RF circuity using scaled CMOS digital processes with results from silicon measurements provided.
Short Bio of Dr. Razak Hossain: Dr. Razak Hossain is a Senior Principal Engineer at ST-Ericsson, San Diego California, USA. He has been at ST-Ericsson and STMicroelectronics since 2000 where he has worked on scaled CMOS RF transceivers, high speed ASIC chips and design methodologies. He gained his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Rochester, New York, in 1995, after which he worked at Mentor Graphics Corporation in Warren, New Jersey on structured custom VLSI design.
