Using graphene as the material to conceive, design and implement a new generation of transistors with extreme high frequency capabilities reaching the THz band is crystallizing in a notable degree of maturity. Out of that, the scientific community is envisioning circuits encompassing multiple devices in a graphene-based integrated circuit implementing more sophisticated functionalities towards wireless communications applications. Such functional RF graphene circuits require concurrently addressing the circuit-aware GFET device model extraction, as well as exploring alternative primitive circuits for both baseband and RF functions which recognize and exploit the uniqueness of GFET characteristics beyond its high-speed capabilities. This talk will address the topic of GFET-based  circuits, specifically for analog and communications applications, particularly emphasizing tight joint characterization, modeling and circuit co-design, both for the device-circuit interface, as well as for the RF transceiver and graphene antenna interface, in pursuit of enabling new applications such as Graphene Wireless Networks on chip.
