Abstract
In order to minimize interference issues and coupling effects in RF products, it is essential to
apply proper floor planning and grounding strategies. The interaction of the IC with its physical environment needs to be accounted for, such as to certify that the final packaged and mounted product meets the specifications.
The presentation will focus on the key requirements to address physical design issues in the early design phases of complex RF design. Typical physical design issues encountered, such as on-chip coupling effects, chip-package interaction, substrate coupling and co-habitation, will be discussed. Some examples of successful RFIC floor planning and grounding strategies as applied in NXP products will be given.

Biography
Jan NIEHOF Obtained his Ph.D. degree at the University of Twente in 1994, for his work on Modelling  the Reliability of IC Interconnects. He then joined Philips Research, where initially he was responsible for the development of advanced ElectroMagnetic simulation tools. He was responsible for and has participated in several EM and RF simulation- and consultancy projects. Since January 2010 Jan is working on integrated RF transceiver design, the development of the floor planning / isolation methodology and more recently on high-speed, wide-band ADCs. Jan has been involved in organizing and chairing several workshops at the RFIC/IMS over the past years. Recent conference and workshop presentations were given at RFIC/IMS, SPI, EuMW and EMCcompo.
