Abstract :
RF CMOS is gaining significant momentum as the technology of choice for implementing product designs in the 1-10GHz band. With scaling pushing fT and fMAX of FET´s beyond 300GHz and integration of back-end-of-line (BEOL) conducive to low-loss passives, CMOS is poised to address application needs in the X, K and V bands
