  • Abstract
    This paper describes recent work on R.F. circuitry for frequencies in the GHz range. Results on active mixers and low noise R.F. amplifiers on a 1 micron silicon bipolar process illustrate the current state-of-the-art, while simulations on GHz active filters show the potential for future high level analogue integration.
