Abstract :
This paper presents design methodology for CMOS RF-ICs in the 2-GHz band. After describing RF transceiver architectures, it introduces some low-voltage, low-power CMOS front-end circuits that use an LC-tank folding technique. Finally, it presents a 1-V, 12-mW image-rejection receiver in the 2-GHz band.
