Technical Talks on Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) and RFIC Design
This event features two insightful technical sessions covering emerging areas in modern electronics and communication systems.
The first talk on “Signal Processing for Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC)” will explore the evolving paradigm where sensing and communication systems are jointly designed. It will highlight how advanced signal processing techniques enable efficient spectrum utilization, improved system performance, and new capabilities in applications such as radar, wireless networks, and autonomous systems.
The second talk on “RFIC Design: Building Intuition Beyond Simulations” takes an intuitive approach to radio-frequency integrated circuit design. Moving beyond theory-heavy and simulation-driven methods, the session will focus on developing a strong conceptual understanding of MOS devices and key RF building blocks such as low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), power amplifiers (PAs), and voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs).
Together, these sessions provide valuable insights into both system-level innovation and circuit-level design, making them highly beneficial for students, researchers, and professionals interested in electronics, communication, and semiconductor technologies.

Dr. Himanshu Khatri
RFIC Design: Building Intuition Beyond Simulations
This session takes a fresh, intuitive approach to RFIC design—moving beyond heavy theory and simulation-driven workflows. Instead of treating circuits as black boxes, we’ll build a physical and conceptual understanding of how they actually behave. We’ll start with the fundamentals of MOS device operation, developing an intuitive feel for how transistors respond in real circuits. From there, we’ll explore key RF building blocks such as low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), power amplifiers (PAs), and possibly voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs)—not through deep mathematical analysis, but through simplified, insightful perspectives.
