Abstract
At submicron channel lengths, CMOS is an attractive alternative to silicon bipolar and GaAs MESFET technologies for use in wireless receivers. A 12mW Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver front-end, comprising a low noise amplifier (LNA) and mixer implemented in a standard 0.35/spl mu/m digital CMOS process, demonstrates the aptitude of CMOS for portable wireless applications.
