Abstract :
This paper describes low-voltage BiCMOS MMICs for wireless personal communication applications. Design considerations and performance results for a developed 2 V 1.6-6.2 GHz MMIC family including bipolar-based RF amplifiers, MOS-based IF amplifiers, BiCMOS-based simplified Gilbert mixers, and downconverter as well as upconverter IC´s are presented.
