Abstract :
This article describes recent activities in the area of RF integrated circuits. First, transceiver architectures developed for cellular and cordless telephone standards are presented. Next, the choice of device technology is discussed, and the design of building blocks such as low-noise amplifiers and mixers, oscillators, and power amplifiers is described. Last, some of the emerging applications of RF circuits and their implications for the design are considered
