Intellectual Property (IP) covers all rights that are generated by
one's creative intellectual efforts. Being intangible, intellectual
property has no material existence but is, nevertheless, a valuable
asset with substantial commercial value. With the knowledge gleaned
from Intellectual Property for Integrated Circuits, integrated
circuit (IC) designers will possess a substantial understanding of
the numerous forms of intellectual property and their underlying
laws and governing principles to efficiently protect and exploit
their own inventions and benefit financially from those rights.
Intellectual Property for Integrated Circuits provides integrated
circuit inventors with up-to-date knowledge in intellectual
property rights in order to be more self-reliant and not solely
dependent on patent attorneys. The idea of "Leave the Law to the
Lawyers" is clearly outdated because patent attorneys will not be
as knowledgeable in technological respects as inventors and
consequently may lead to insufficient protection to which inventors
expect and are entitled. However, this book is not a replacement
for patent attorneys. Patent attorneys are paid by the hour,
therefore if inventors are equipped with a working knowledge of IP
law and can effectively search for and interpret prior art; they
can significantly reduce the number of hours spent with attorneys.
At the same time it will ensure that both inventors and patent
attorneys understand one another.
The increasing demand for extremely high-data-rate communications
has urged researchers to develop new communication systems.
Currently, wireless transmission with more than one
Giga-bits-per-second (Gbps) data rates is becoming essential due to
increased connectivity between different portable and smart
devices. To realize Gbps data rates, millimeter-wave (MMW) bands
around 60 GHz is attractive due to the availability of large
bandwidth of 9 GHz. Recent research work in the Gbps data rates
around 60 GHz band has focused on short-range indoor applications,
such as uncompressed video transfer, high-speed file transfer
between electronic devices, and communication to and from kiosk.
Many of these applications are limited to 10 m or less, because of
the huge free space path loss and oxygen absorption for 60 GHz band
MMW signal. This book introduces new knowledge and novel circuit
techniques to design low-power MMW circuits and systems. It also
focuses on unlocking the potential applications of the 60 GHz band
for high-speed outdoor applications. The innovative design
application significantly improves and enables high-data-rate
low-cost communication links between two access points seamlessly.
The 60 GHz transceiver system-on-chip provides an alternative
solution to upgrade existing networks without introducing any
building renovation or external network laying works.
With speeds of up to 20 gigabits per second and the ability to
support up to one million devices per square kilometer, 5G — the
current generation of mobile communications technology — may seem
impressive, but 6G is set to take these capabilities even further.
Envisioned to deliver a peak data rate of 1 terabit per second and
latency of 100 microseconds or less, 6G must be able to seamlessly
and securely deliver data in an ever increasingly saturated network
of wireless connections without exceeding the energy requirements
of 5G.This book covers every aspect of future communications, from
key technologies, to design challenges, network requirements, and
users experiences; to standardization, chip design, and industry
applications from 5G to 6G. It presents the requirements and use
cases of 6G, RF transceivers roadmap for 2030 and beyond, and
modeling of RF devices for 5G/6G applications. In here, a modified
Shannon's capacity formula that is critical for future advanced
wireless communications such as 6G is discussed for the first time.
It also presents the standardization of 6G wireless communication
systems with emphasis on Standard Development Organizations (SDOs),
regulatory bodies and administrations, ITU, industry forums, and 6G
standard timeline. The book presents an RF/mm-wave integrated
circuit design for future communications to provides readers with
an easy-to-understand overview of voltage-controlled oscillators,
power amplifiers, low-noise amplifiers, frequency synthesizers,
high-frequency dividers, and chip-to-chip communications isolation
technology.This book is an excellent reference for readers
specializing in electrical and electronic engineering, wireless
communication, integrated circuit design, circuits and systems, to
learn more about 5G and even 6G communication standards and
RF/mm-wave IC design. In particular, professionals working in the
foundry, fabless semiconductor companies, original equipment
manufacturers, and integrated device manufacturers will also
benefit from this book.
The World University Research Rankings 2020 is a novel methodology
designed to evaluate research multi-disciplinarity, complemented by
indicators to gauge research impact and research
collaborative-ness. Together, these three key aspects make up the
composite index for the world university research rankings
methodology.The aim of this evidence-based new index is to inform
universities objectively on their world research standing; provide
insights into their relative strengths and weaknesses; raise
awareness and promote collaborative and multi-disciplinary
research. The indicators that were chosen reflect this aspirational
goal to help universities better understand how they can seize
opportunities in this increasingly complex and inter-connected
world, and relook at how universities' research excellence can be
assessed holistically with respect to how they are able to harness
the synergies created from bringing together multi-disciplinary and
collaborative teams to sustain and elevate research impact.This new
index is designed through a novel and fresh methodology from the
existing ones (i.e. QS, THE, ARWU) to evaluate the three key
components - research multi-disciplinarity, research impact, and
research collaborative-ness. Together, these form a new and
differentiated composite index under this research assessment
framework for universities. Data is derived objectively based on
OECD's schema in Web of Science's InCites through a 10-year period
from 2009 to 2018.
This book addresses in-depth technical issues, limitations,
considerations and challenges facing millimeter-wave (MMW)
integrated circuit and system designers in designing MMW wireless
communication systems from the complementary metal-oxide
semiconductor (CMOS) perspective. It offers both a comprehensive
explanation of fundamental theories and a broad coverage of MMW
integrated circuits and systems.CMOS Millimeter-Wave Integrated
Circuits for Next Generation Wireless Communication Systems is an
excellent reference for faculty, researchers and students working
in electrical and electronic engineering, wireless communication,
integrated circuit design and circuits and systems. While primarily
