Abstract :
The corresponding explosive growth in wireless communications systems has led to an increased demand for wireless devices which are compact, low-cost, and low-power. To meet this demand, IC which combine RF, analog, and digital functions on the same chip are required, rapidly approaching system-on-chip (SoC) implementations.
