Abstract :
Leading-edge CMOS provides transistor performance that, by traditional measures, is more than adequate for implementing millimetre-wave transceivers. Analogue and RF design is supported by device-level libraries and extraction tools. Simple extensions to these will allow rapid design cycles for millimetre-wave applications.
