I've met a guy who's versed in RFIC design, he told me that one of the most important things of successfully learning RFIC design is to have a good mentor. Does anyone agree with that?
being an RFIC Designer means you need to be empirical and theoretical. it is like being a construction worker, you can learn about building houses all day, but the actual doing of it takes someone to pass the knowledge on to you.
papers, thesis and books (most books suck) are the best way. try www.rfic.co.uk to get started and get an idea about the topic.
