  • Abstract
    This paper discusses the new developed techniques through which the supply voltage of CMOS RFICs can be effectively reduced. Various multi-gigahertz frequencies operating at a supply voltage less than 1 V have been successfully demonstrated in this paper. Efforts have been made in the realization of fully integrated RF front-end transceivers and frequency synthesizers in a standard CMOS process for system on a chip applications.
