Abstract :
The past few years has witnessed the emergence of CMOS based circuits operating at millimeter wave frequencies. Integrated on a low cost organic packaging, this is the promise for high volume fabrication, lowering the cost and opening huge commercial markets. As standardization efforts catalyzed the interest and investment of industry and agencies, one can be assured of ubiquitous millimeter-wave technology in the consumer electronic market place in the fairly near future.
