Abstract :
This paper discusses design issues and the microwave properties of CMOS devices. A qualitative understanding of the microwave characteristics of MOS transistors is provided. The paper is directed toward helping analog IC circuit designers create better front end radio-frequency CMOS circuits. The network properties of CMOS devices, the frequency response, and the microwave noise properties are reviewed, and a summary of the microwave scaling rules is presented
