  • Abstract
    This paper presents a design methodology of millimeter-wave circuits that are insensitive to process, voltage, and temperature variations. Instead of using conventional direct sensing, the authors propose an indirect sensing method with Bayesian fusion, which simplifies the sensors and allows more adaptive circuit loops to be integrated.
