  • Abstract
    The recent aggressive downsizing of CMOS devices makes it potential to implement RF front-end in the CMOS process, but RF circuits have some special demands which the standard digital CMOS process does not consider: low noise, high linearity, high quality passive components. These demands present the main barriers to implement the RF front-end in CMOS process and need special efforts to get good performance. This paper discusses some relevant issues to the implementations of RF front-end in CMOS process
