Abstract :
Recently, CMOS has been demonstrated to be a viable technology for wireless communications and very-high-bit-rate broadband circuit design at over 10 Gb/s in highly integrated systems. This paper presents advances in circuit design which fully exploit the high-speed potential of a 0.13 /spl mu/m standard CMOS technology up to 40 Gb/s and 50 GHz. The combination of advanced circuit techniques and state-of-the-art fabrication-process technology results in continuing the upward shift of the frequency limits.
