“…The minimum cycle structure of an undirected graph can be found using a depth-first search algorithm [29]. In RF circuit layout, a Manhattan structure (horizontal or vertical) is commonly used for connecting metal [30]. Therefore, for a ring structure, as shown in Figure 15, four corner devices are required to change direction when forming a ring.…”

Layout stitching is a repetitive and tedious task of the radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) design process. While academic research on layout splicing algorithms mainly focuses on analog and digital circuits, there is still a lack of well-developed algorithms for RFICs. An RFIC system usually has a symmetrical layout, such as transmitter and receiver components, low-noise amplifier (LNA), an SPDT switch, etc. This paper aims to address this gap by proposing an automated procedure for the layout of RFICs by relying on the basic device/PCell structure based on the interconnection among circuit topologies. This approach makes the in-series generation of layouts and automatic splicing based on circuit logic possible, resulting in superior stitching performance compared with related modules in Advanced Design System. To demonstrate the physical application possibilities, we implemented our algorithm on an LNA and a switch circuit.

The implementation of software-defined radio necessitates a versatile radio frequency (RF) front-end that can support multiple standards in different frequency bands. This article presents the state-of-the-art multiband and wideband mixers in the context of different receiver architectures suitable for softwaredefined radio (SDR). Wideband and multiband mixer designs reported in the literature are categorized on the basis of their circuit architecture. This study tabulates the results of mixer designs with an emphasis on noise figure (NF), conversion gain (CG), linearity, and image rejection ratio. The best parameters reported in the comparison are 68-84 dB of CG, 3.2 dB of NF, 2.5 mW of power consumption, 12.5 dBm of third-order input intercept point, and 0.015 mm 2 of area at different frequencies. The study also discusses the design challenges and techniques to overcome those issues. The article concludes with the summary and prospective developments for SDR architectures.
