Abstract

High-speed radio design research activities undertaken by the Communications Technology Department at IBM´s T.J. Watson Research Center are described. The ultimate goal is to implement a cost-effective, short-range, high-speed radio in the 5-GHz U-NII band and leverage IBM´s ultra-high bandwidth SiGe BiCMOS technology
