Abstract:
The increasing role of communication has led to a remarkable proliferation of the communication standards. Therefore, the need for systems compatible with -different communication platforms has become a necessity to replace archaic systems conforming to a single communication standard. Coupled with the demand to make communication systems compact, the development of multiband circuits has revolutionized the field of communication. The development of multiband circuits in RFICs has made it possible to reduce the cost of the systems while increasing their utility making them concise.
The main objective'of this dissertation is to design and develop dual band RFICs integral to a communication system. The backbone of a communication system is the seamless interaction between the linear and non-linear components within the module. To this end, this work emphasizes equally on both the linear and non-linear component designs used to implement a dual band communication system
