Abstract :
Recent performance advancement in super-scaled CMOS technologies has opened new avenues for implementing RF/MMICs on cost-effective mainstream silicon substrate. This talk addresses critical issues involved in designing those high-frequency circuits under technology constraints of decreasing supply voltage and device gain, increasing device mismatch and metal & substrate losses. The talk will also discuss possible circuit level solutions in both topology and signaling, which may mitigate those constraints and deliver demanded performance and functions for future high frequency communication systems.
