Abstract :
Silicon SoCs capable of millimeter-wave frequency operation now offer a combination of performance, functionality, integration scale and cost unrivalled by other IC technologies. The components, design techniques and circuits that are propelling deep submicron silicon technologies in mm-wave system front-ends are surveyed in this paper. Examples relevant to Gbit/s rate wireless communication are highlighted, with emphasis on innovations drawn from the recent literature.
