Abstract :
There is increasing interest in the use of CMOS circuits for highly integrated high frequency wireless telecommunications systems. This paper presents the results of on-going work into the development of a cell library that includes many of the circuit elements required for the high frequency sub-system of a communications integrated circuit. The cells were fabricated using standard MOSIS processes and measurement results are presented. The full design files, testing results and circuit tutorials describing the cells and how they interface with baseband circuits are available from the author
