Design and modeling of millimeter-wave CMOS circuits for wireless transceivers: era of sub-100nm technology

Design and Modeling of Millimeter-wave CMOS Circuits for Wireless Transceivers describes in detail some of the interesting developments in CMOS millimetre-wave circuit design. This includes the re-emergence of the slow-wave techniqueused on passive devices, the license-free 60GHz band circuit blocks and a 76GHz voltage-controlled oscillator suitable for vehicular radar applications. All circuit solutions described are suitable for digital CMOS technology. Digital CMOS technology developments driven by Moore’s law make it an inevitable solution for low cost and high volume products in the marketplace. Explosion of the consumer wireless applications further makes this subject a hot topic of the day. Current research interest of the engineering/semiconductor industry Begins with a clear overview of a complex design process Complete with the overview, detailed description of passive devices and resulting active circuit blocks Contains solutions for the most widely-used digital CMOS technology available in commercial foundries INDICE: From the contents Preface.
