Abstract :
RFIC Technology is still in the infancy phase. The requirement for extremely low-cost, high-performance RF transceivers will drive dramatic changes in system architecture, semiconductor technology, and circuit implementation in the next few years. This paper addresses some of these issues and presents results that illustrate new directions in RFIC transceiver technology development.
