Abstract

The construction of the RF-part of a wireless transceiver and that of an optic-fiber transceiver are described. The functions of the basic function blocks are briefly introduced. Different technologies for RF-IC and ultrahigh speed IC are compared. Circuit techniques required for these IC design are discussed. The mode of fabless IC design plus foundry IC fabrication is explained. A series ICs realized and tested is shown.
