Abstract :
During the past years, SOI technology has been widely adopted by our industry for the integration of RF front-end modules (FEMs), mainly for antenna switches. This paper reviews the current trends concerning the integration of FEM on CMOS SOI and discusses the perspectives for SOI technology to be used more widely by the wireless industry in a short future.
