Hello everyone! Welcome to the second article in the RFIC Design Series!

Preparing for RF interviews requires more than memorizing formulas; it demands a clear understanding of how real circuits behave under high-frequency conditions.

Concepts such as dB scaling, impedance interaction, linearity, and nonlinearity are not merely theoretical; they directly influence how RF systems perform in practice.

This article is structured to help you build that intuition efficiently.

It revisits the core principles of RFIC design that interviewers consistently focus on: signal representation, system behavior, and distortion mechanisms, and connects them to practical scenarios you are likely to be questioned on.

We have covered some of the concepts in Part 1 of this article. Use the link below to read Part 1 before proceeding to this article to get the full knowledge.
