Abstract

The past few years have witnessed the emergence of CMOS based circuits operating at millimeter wave-frequencies. The co-design of fully integrated mmW CMOS single chip digital radios with low cost QFN packages operating from 30 to 100 GHz offers the promise for high volume manufacturing which paves the way for a new millimeter-wave industry. 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.
