This paper examines the extension of constructive libraryaware logic synthesis to the physical placement stage of integrated circuit design. Constructive logic synthesis differs from traditional synthesis approaches in that it builds a circuit netlist incrementally starting from the primary inputs and proceeding towards the primary outputs. In each iteration of this procedure, the semantic stru...

The worldwide diffusion of wireless telecommunication systems opened new perspectives for microwave technologies. High-volume microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) production became a reality, revolutionizing the approach to microwave-circuit design. Nowadays, this is based on the intensive use of accurate simulation and computer-aided-design (CAD) tools. While scattering parameter mea...
